Neurasthenia, Civilisation and the Crisis of Spanish Manhood, c. 1890–1914 by Violeta Ruiz

“…It places neurasthenia within the context of the wider discourse of crisis and change known as Regenerationism, presenting the argument that the diagnosis could be considered either validating or destructive, depending on whether the patient’s attitude corresponded to or diverged from the values that the Spanish elites identified as necessary for the progress of the nation. Its main symptoms of aboulia and psychic passivity made it a condition that reflected the larger crisis of national identity in the wake of the loss of the last overseas colonies to the USA in 1898. …”
