Fear of Being Thought Afraid..
LONDON, Jan. 14.-The "Da?ly Tele
graph" states that experience gained in
the spanish war is helping the inistry
of Health and the London County Coun
cil to combat cases or civilian bomb shock
and shelter neurosis. A .Government
psychiatrist states that the Spanish war
produced tenfold the number of neurosis
cases in the same period and adds that
shelshock has been far less frequent
than in the last war.
The f"Daily Telegraph" says that psy
chiatris are still fighting the effects
of Dunkerque, but the great naval ac
tions of this war have scarcely produced
a case of war nerves. Since the outbreak
of ~var the Ministry of Health has or
ganised a nationwide network of mind
hospitals. It has been found that one
frequent cause of war neurosis is the
fear of being thought to be afraid. Re
search shows that wardens, members of
the Auxiliary Fire Service and other
defence workers are far less susceptible
to war neurosis than. those sitting idly
during air raids.
