"Americanitis"

"I lost me pie!"

You know how you're always reading old biographies that refer to neurasthenia?  I always thought this had something to do with having an ectomorphic body type, like Mick Jagger ca. the "Start Me Up" video.  Aha, no.

Per wiki:
Neurasthenia is a psycho-pathological term first used by George Miller Beard in 1869^[1] to denote a condition with symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, headache, neuralgia and depressed mood.

And this:
Americans were said to be particularly prone to neurasthenia, which resulted in the nickname "Americanitis"^[2] (popularized by William James).

Huh.

Also, image searching "weary" was fruitless, so I looked at "forlorn" which yielded this sad bloke pictured.  Cheer up!  You look a bit like Robbie Williams and surely people must buy you pints for that.
