Stanley _Schutz_ was professor of surgery at the University of Chicago and of otolaryngology and neuropathology at the Medical College of Amsterdam. His scientific research included studying the anatomy and neuroanatomy of the nervous system of older people.

The difficulty in distinguishing the concepts of “nervous storm” and “Downstone syndrome” lay in the fact that the term _Jester was used in the 20s in medicine to designate a number of symptoms indicating psychosis and, in this case, not associated with malignant carcinomatosis. The author based his opinion on the fact that if recovery manifests itself as a consequence of a mental illness, then it is a case of recovery from mental trauma.

In 1947, British neurologist Ralph Abram. _Frommi_, based on his many years of research, published a note in the medical journal Lancet, “Symptoms of the Nervous Cycle,” where he proposed a brief definition of this syndrome. Over time, the term became widespread in the United States. In 1966, the magazine
