Southard, Elmer Ernest
SCHIZOPHRENIA CYCLOTHYMIA MORONITY ALCOHOLISM
SHELL SHOCK NEUROSES
NEUROSYPHILIS EPILEPSY SOMATOPATHY

SHELL SHOCK NEUROSES
NEUROSYPHILIS EPILEPSY SOMATOPATHY
Note arrow lengths: Theoretically, shell-shock neuroses, being presumably in large part functional, ought to ally themselves more closely with the left-hand group than with the right-hand group. But they do not!
In short, these functional diseases are not so hard to distinguish from various other functional diseases as they are from certain organic diseases. The most serious diagnostic problem is between the war neuroses and organic brain disorders.
