BaenandElspeth Posted 9 June , 2017 Share Posted 9 June , 2017 I have read the form the British army used to notify family of injury. What did they write after 'suffering from' when the condition was mental, i.e. blindness, deafness, tremors, tics, etc. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 9 June , 2017 Share Posted 9 June , 2017 Do you have a form and a word or words you can't read? If so, post an image and Pals experienced at deciphering manuscript will try to help you. Blindness and deafness are not per se forms of mental illness, but I assume you mean when attributable to psychological trauma, in which case mutism can be added to the spectrum.

ss002d6252 Posted 9 June , 2017 Share Posted 9 June , 2017 Neurasthenia was a relatively common phrase used in records but you see shell shock also being used. I'd suspect the wording depended entirely on who was filling the firm in. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
