“…Consequently, insanities (later psychosis) [6,9,10], besides dissociation [6] and neurosis [11,12] became the backbone of the psychiatry classification, the neurosis of the nerves, but around the beginning of the 20th century, this conception reversed, as most psychiatrists´s conceptions saw the organic basis of the insanities, but the neuroses, psychogenic and functional.…”

“…Aside, the American physician George Beard proposed the term neurasthenia (1869) with the energetic conception, as the new clinical entity corresponding to the nervous energy exhaustion. This concept was also projected to the one of neurosis in the first half of the 20th century, and depression, from the second half of the same century [11,12]. Consequently, hysteria and neurasthenia became the two great neuroses and were classified as functional diseases, resulting from some disturbance or change in the functions of an organ, but without any definite organic lesion that was supposed to exist [21].…”

Introduction: The history of psychiatry encompasses the evolving concepts about the relationship between body and mind and also of the definition of normality, which depend on the knowledge and customs of different times and places. For a better understanding of this journey, this study privileged the presentation of the influential figures on the construction of psychiatric nosology and classifications mainly unfolded on a descriptive or causal basis, from psychics or somatics driving, since the western renaissance. Because of the length of this historical path, this study is divided into two parts. This paper, the first in a two-part series, is a preamble to the development of the new nosography and psychopharmacology of the 21st century, merit of the second paper in this series. Method: Narrative review based on secondary sources. Results: Part One includes a review of prior studies concluding that the psychiatric nosography construction has many stations and it passes through the 18th century more structured morbid classifications based on taxonomies of the natural sciences. Psychiatric classifications navigate the course between different psychiatric theories, often marked by inherent prejudices, alongside advances achieved in neuroscience and its intricate connections with the physiology of emotions, cognition and behaviors, shedding light on their deviations or disorders. This evolution goes in parallel with that of the macro and microanatomy, physiology, chemistry, pharmacology, genetics, internal medicine, mainly neurology, apace with evaluation techniques that also reach the Blood-oxygen-level-dependent imaging (BOLD) fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) that indirectly study the action of neurotransmitters and neuronal signalling. The biologic approach stands in contrast to the psychodynamic theory, particularly dominant until roughly the mid-20th century. Conclusion: The study of psychiatric nosohistoriography helps to understand the conceptual evolution of mental illnesses and the most recent importance of psychopharmacology for this.

En las últimas dos décadas del siglo XIX las neurosis y otras enfermedades nerviosas (como la neurastenia, la histeria o la debilidad nerviosa) tuvieron una marcada presencia en la cultura sanitaria de la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Esas afecciones aparecieron no sólo en la literatura médica, sino también en las publicidades de objetos y servicios destinados a combatirlas. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, poniendo el foco en tópicos ligados al mercado, el consumo y las estrategias de publicidad, dos dimensiones de esas ofertas curativas. Por un lado, la proliferación de sustancias (tónicos, aceites y específicos) vendidas en farmacias, boticas y otros puntos de distribución. Por otro lado, el desarrollo de emprendimientos terapéuticos dirigidos por médicos y equipados con diversos implementos técnicos (centros de hidroterapia, electroterapia, gimnasia mecánica, entre otros). Los doctores se sumaron al mercado de ofertas contra las enfermedades nerviosas mediante la fundación de centros cuyos servicios también fueron promocionados como objetos de consumo a través de avisos y otros medios de difusión. El artículo intenta localizar los rasgos esenciales de ese complejo mercado, atendiendo a los actores sociales que allí intervinieron y a las tensiones y negociaciones entabladas entre ellos.
