This report attempts to delineate the nature of "Nerves" using data collected from 101 Social Security Disability petitioners from Eastern Kentucky. Statistical analysis of Cornell Medical Index items reveals a relatively unique constellation of symptoms for individuals claiming disability primarily due to "Nerves" rather than somatic or mental causes. The report concludes that "Nerves" serves as a useful clinical label for a fairly consistent pattern of somatic and emotional complaints incorporating the distinctive Appalachian world view and life style.
本报告试图利用从肯塔基州东部101名社会保障残疾申请人那里收集的数据，来描述“神经问题”的本质。对康奈尔医学指数项目的统计分析显示，对于那些主要因“神经问题”而非躯体或精神原因而申请残疾的个体，存在一组相对独特的症状。该报告得出结论，“神经问题”是一个有用的临床标签，用于描述包含独特阿巴拉契亚世界观和生活方式的躯体及情绪主诉的相当一致的模式。
