Summary "The Modern Malady; Or, Sufferers from 'Nerves'" by Cyril Bennett is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work addresses a condition known as Neurasthenia, or nerve-weakness, a prevalent and debilitating affliction affecting individuals across all strata of society. Through a non-medical lens, Bennett presents an examination of the malady and critiques traditional treatment methods, aiming to enhance public understanding of the condition and its broader implications on health and society. The opening of the work sets the stage for an allegorical exploration of society's treatment of individuals suffering from nervous disorders. Bennett introduces a fictional account where a community grapples with the plight of weavers who, due to diminishing eyesight, are subjected to harsh judgments and treatments based on ignorance. This narrative illustrates the misunderstanding and stigmatization faced by those suffering from Neurasthenia, paralleling real-world attitudes toward mental health issues. Bennett argues for more compassionate and informed approaches to treatment, emphasizing the necessity of recognizing the physicality of nervous disorders rather than attributing them to moral failings or spiritual conditions.
