Synopsis
This book thoroughly examines the idea of functional disorders, those which do not display definitive structural abnormalities. The author, a respected expert in the field, argues that while these disorders can currently be difficult to diagnose, they are no less real for that. Exploring a range of examples, from nerve exhaustion to irritable heart, the book demonstrates how these conditions can be distinct from organic disorders, and proposes that they may indeed represent a distinct class of ailments. The book traces the evolving understanding of functional disorders, from their historical marginalization to their recognition as significant contributors to human discomfort. Ultimately, the book highlights that these disorders are worthy of attention, understanding, and appropriate treatment, and that their study can illuminate the complex relationship between mind and body in maintaining our health.
