Neurasthenia, the third disorder of the 1870s, was a more prestigious and attractive form of female nervousness than hysteria, although it shared so many of hysteria's symptoms that even specialists could not always distinguish between the two. Like hysteria, neurasthenia encompassed a wide range of symptoms from blushing, vertigo, headaches, and neuralgia to insomnia, depression, and uterine irritability.
