Review

"David Schuster's Neurasthenic Nation provides a vivid and compelling account of neurasthenia and its place in American medicine and culture."

(Laura Hirshbein author of American Melancholy 2099-01-01)

"[An] excellent study. The book is a worthy addition to the voluminous literature on neurasthenia."

(Journal of American History 2012-09-01)

"David G. Schuster provides a comprehensive examination of the origins and nature of [neurasthenia], but more importantly he captures why it became such an important social, economic, and cultural phenomenon, as well as why, after 1920, it declined so precipitously."

(Historian 2012-12-01)
