Dr. Sigmund Freud is an Austrian psychologist, psychiatrist and neurologist who immortalized his name with the discovery of psychoanalysis.

Freud will turn 44 in a few months. In the new twentieth century, he will live for another 39 years. The last 16 - along with the disease, which, in the end (despite his vitality and the efforts of the best doctors), will bring him to the grave.

He proceeds from the fact that it is in dreams that the rudiments of the entire psychology of neuroses are contained. There is also a key to understanding hysteria.

At the turn of the 1890s, the first serious illnesses began to fall on him. The Lord endowed him with willpower and clarity of spirit, parents - with vitality, but sooner or later each person begins to have health problems. There is no exception to this rule.
