Etymology

The term 'neurasthenic' originates from the Greek words 'neuron' meaning 'nervous system' and 'astheneia' which means 'weakness'. It was first coined in the late 19th century by the American neurologist George Miller Beard to describe a condition that he believed was prevalent in highly educated individuals. Beard proposed that this syndrome arose from the stresses of modern civilization and was marked by symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Over time, the concept of neurasthenia evolved, influencing our understanding of stress-related disorders and highlighting the interplay between physical and mental health.
