“The ominous phrase “nervous breakdown” is a painfully familiar one to an increasing number of men and women in these days.  Happily, it is merely a phrase to the vast majority of us.  But, to an ever-growing number, we fear, it speaks of one of the most distressing realities of life.  It is because the writer himself knows what the thing is, and because he has had exceptional  opportunities of meeting and dealing with many others who also know, that he has determined to publish his experience, in the hope that it may bring a little light into the gloom which mostly accompanies those nerve troubles to which multitudes are victims. – from the introduction.”
