"They ought to be ashamed," she cried angrily, "leaving a lot of sick people!" "Oh, as to that," said the red-headed person, "there aren't any very sick ones. Two or three neurasthenics like yourself and a convalescent typhoid and a D.T. in a private room. If it wasn't that Mary O'Shaughnessy "
"You stand here gossiping with that man loose in the house?" exclaimed Bellward vehemently, "why the next thing we know the fellow will escape us again!" "Oh, no, he won't" retorted the other. "Every window on the ground floor is barred... this is a home for neurasthenics, you know, and that is sometimes a polite word for a lunatic, my friend... and the doors, both front and back are locked.
Trips to watering-places alternated with visits to sanatoriums. In those places sat the pallid, anaemic women who had been tortured and ruined by their own or alien guilt. There they sat and engaged in wretched flirtations with flighty neurasthenics. And gradually things went from bad to worse. The physicians shrugged their friendly shoulders.
All cases of malarial fever and malarial cachexia. Patients recovering from acute diseases. Convalescents after surgical operations. Cases of anaemia and debility. Cases of chronic venereal diseases. Neurasthenics."
The militant suffragettes of England had degenerated from something like real politicians into mere neurasthenics and not only had lost what little chance they seemed for a time to have of being taken seriously by the British Government, but had very nearly alienated the many thousands of women without the ranks that were wavering in the balance.

This diagnosis probably accounts for the frequency with which neurasthenics have been said to have high blood pressure. Patients with high blood pressure may show all kinds of symptoms simulating neurasthenia, but hypertension is a much better diagnosis than neurasthenia for such patients, and will lead to more rational treatment.
Many neurasthenics who think they are "all run down" are really "all wound up." They carry their stress with them.
