THE DOCTOR SAYS
Nervous Breakdown Caused
By Many Obscure Conditions
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
A tang letter from a reader
me interesting quest-
in starttag this col-
aid like to quote from
“Four
clalists, rest, physical therapy, in
eluding hot or cold baths, hand
work, and aback treatments are
often helpful and have brought
thousands back to normal. Al-
though much still has tote
learned about causes, prevention
Recovery was, slow, and it has
only been in the last four months
that I can talk to people without
the terrific strain I felt at first I
still hurt all over, and suffer
from anxiety.
“Many of my neighbors think
I don't get well because I don’t
have the fortitude and have been
* happily resting and trying to
duck my responsibilities. Many
people have gone through this
experience and don’t want sym-
pathy. but understanding means
ae much and criticism to almost
unbearable.
“Another thing—the doctors
haven’t told me when I can ex-
pect to. be completely well. Don’t
they knowrfor sure or do they
feel it best not to say?”
This letter, among other things,
raises- the question as to what is
meant by “nervous breakdown."
Actually, it is commonly used for
a great many different conditions
and does not apply to a single
disease with a uniform act of
symptoms or a single cause. In
the letter quoted, it to impossible
to tell just what the nature of
the original nervous disorder
was, but it is probably safe to
answer the last question by say-
ing that in all probability the
doctors cannot tell exactly when
the correspondent will be perfect-
ly well, and are not holding back
on her for any other reason.
I and treatment of the various
I kinds of mental diseases, progress
already far advanced and even
I better results will surely come."
r Many People Recover St
: The fortunate thing to thst many
will recover and find themselves
quite normal again. Lots of people
who have gone away for a while
with a nervous breakdown come
back to their family and friends
entirely restored to health.
Family, friends, and neighbors
should always be careful not to
criticize, particularly since the vie
tim of one of these nervous dis
orders la likely to be extremely
sensitive. They would not criticize
someone who suffered a broken
arm and the person with any kind
of “nervous breakdown" is no
mure responsible for his or her
condition than one with a visible
disorder.
