Clinical Lectures On Neurasthenia

By Thomas Dixon Savill

Book Overview

""Clinical Lectures on Neurasthenia"" is a book written by Thomas Dixon Savill, a British physician, and published in 1895. The book is a collection of lectures that Savill gave on the subject of neurasthenia, a condition that was prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, and nervousness. In the book, Savill discusses the causes, symptoms, and treatment of neurasthenia, drawing on his own clinical experience and the work of other physicians and researchers. He argues that neurasthenia is a real and debilitating condition, and not simply a product of the patient's imagination or weakness of character. Savill also explores the relationship between neurasthenia and other conditions such as hysteria, melancholia, and hypochondriasis, and discusses the role of psychological factors in the development and treatment of the condition. Overall, ""Clinical Lectures on Neurasthenia"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine and the understanding of mental health conditions in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
