Overwork and illness .
The link between overwork and illness is clearly illustrated in the life of Charles Darwin
and ever so relevant in this Darwin memorial year 2009 .
About 20 June 1837 , 28
years old, Darwin was working on his multi-volume Zoology
of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle .
He agreed to unrealistic dates for this and for a book on South American Geology .
Perhaps he underestimated he then still had his proofs to correct .
Darwin’s health suffered from the pressure .
On 20 September he had "an uncomfortable palpitation of the heart", so his
doctors urged him to "knock off all work" and live in the country for a few
weeks .
By June he was being laid up for days on end with stomach
problems, headaches and heart symptoms . For the rest of his life, he was repeatedly
incapacitated with episodes of stomach pains, vomiting, severe boils, palpitations,
trembling and other symptoms, particularly during times of stress such as attending
meetings or making social visits . The cause of Darwin’s illness remained unknown,
and attempts at treatment had little success .
