'weakening nerves' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'in the sauna half-bare possibly' is the wordplay.
'half' indicates taking half.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'bare' cut in half is 're'.
'in'+'the'+'sauna'+'re'='inthesaunare'
'inthesaunare' with letters rearranged gives 'NEURASTHENIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neurasthenia that I've seen before include "stress condition" , "psychological disorder?" , "Nervous condition" , "Nervous debility" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
