Summary "Epilepsy, Hysteria, and Neurasthenia: Their Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment" by Isaac G. Briggs is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive overview of three prevalent neurological disorders, focusing on their causes, symptoms, and possible treatments, while presenting medical knowledge in an accessible manner for both professionals and the general public. The opening of the book begins with a preface where Briggs expresses the need for a straightforward resource on these conditions, emphasizing the importance of personal discipline alongside medical expertise. He discusses how historical views have attributed epilepsy to supernatural causes, followed by a detailed description of major (grand mal) and minor (petit mal) epilepsy. The text outlines not only the physiological manifestations of these conditions but also the impact they have on the lives of sufferers, indicating a thorough exploration of their complexities and treatments throughout the chapters.
