SynopsisConfessions Of A Neurasthenic is a memoir written by William Taylor Marrs. The book is a personal account of Marrs' experience with neurasthenia, a condition that was commonly diagnosed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Marrs describes his struggles with the physical and mental symptoms of the condition, which include fatigue, insomnia, nervousness, and depression. He also discusses the various treatments he underwent, including rest cures, dietary changes, and psychotherapy. Throughout the book, Marrs reflects on the social and cultural factors that contributed to his illness, including the pressures of modern life, the expectations placed on men in particular, and the stigmatization of mental illness. He also explores the ways in which his experience with neurasthenia affected his relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. Confessions Of A Neurasthenic provides a unique perspective on a condition that was once widely diagnosed but is now less common. Marrs' personal story sheds light on the ways in which mental and physical health are intertwined, and on the challenges faced by those who struggle with chronic illness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
