He presented a paper on the subject in 1874, in which he stated that the origin of the disease is "to be sought in the disturbance of the mind and a prolonged insufficiency of food and nothing more." Other writers described the condition,2, 3 but Gull deserves credit for the name and the concept of the condition which is accepted at present.There are several papers by the English writers4, 5, 6,...References1.
