My Pdoc actually told me I was neurasthenic!
He said that the diagnosis was not used much any more, and that he could not code it into my records, because there was no check box for it on the insurance forms.
Nevertheless, he maintained that it was "really" my diagnosis, DSM and HMO's be dammed!
> Sufferers of "neurasthenia" were thought to be unusually intelligent, though possessing highly sensitive, fragile, 'nerves.' The cure for them was to rest in bed and have all needs taken care of by others for 6 weeks. :D
