    “Душевному здоровью принято уделять гораздо меньше внимания, чем здоровью физическому. Если человеку внезапно станет плохо, или он потеряет сознание, он не удовлетворится тем, что ему полегчало, или что сознание вернулось к нему. Он сходит к врачу для подробного обследования. Вместе с тем среди нас находятся душевно больные люди, которые обиделись бы, если бы вы посоветовали им лечиться. Никто не обидится, если ему скажут, что у него плохое кровообращение, и он должен в связи с этим делать то-то и то-то. Дело в том, что люди часто путают понятия „психически нездоровый“ и „сумасшедший“. Это грубая ошибка. Сумасшествие — это уже душевная смерть, и только в таких случаях признавать, что не все в порядке — это бессмыслица.
    Другой нелепостью является наличие какого-то непонятного стыда, если душевной или нервной болезнью заболевает сравнительно молодой человек. Доктор Влах помнит случай, когда начальник одного управления отказался предоставить отпуск молодому сотруднику сказав ему при этом: „Неврастения в вашем возрасте? Как вам не стыдно!“ Этому господину и в голову не пришло бы кому-нибудь сказать: „Аппендицит в вашем возрасте? Как вам не стыдно!“ И все же оба вопроса одинаково глупы.”
