1. (Manic) Depression
Leslie Cheung
Leslie Cheung committed suicide on April Fool's Day, April 1, 2003. He suffered from severe Depression, but my brother’s depression is physiological and is caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. When it occurs, the pain is abnormal, and at the same time, there will be long-term and persistent depression and loss of will. It is very difficult to cure. Many people will misunderstand that my brother's depression is due to emotional problems. Of course, this cannot be ruled out as part of the reason, but I still hope that more people will understand the truth instead of simply being misled by the media.
2. Schizophrenia
Van Gogh
p>When we appreciate Van Gogh's exquisite paintings, how can we think that he was a severe schizophrenic patient. He committed suicide in a French psychiatric hospital in 1890. Most of his famous works were completed in the two years after his serious illness. For example, his most famous work "Sunflowers" was created in 1888. I have seen a story before about Van Gogh's severe schizophrenia in his later period. Van Gogh met a 16-year-old prostitute Rachel in a brothel in Arles. Rachel joked to Van Gogh that if he had no money, he would cut off his ears and give them away. To give it to her, Van Gogh actually cut off his ear, wrapped it and gave it to her.
3. Autism
Newton
Newton was a very famous physicist. His contribution is very, very great, but in addition to these remarkable achievements, he is a severely autistic patient. He hardly talked, lost his temper, and had few friends. When giving lectures, no one came and he could talk to himself in front of the empty classroom. When he was 50 years old, he suffered from severe depression and paranoia. causing him severe mental failure.
In addition to these, there are phobias, personality disorders, etc. If you are interested, you can check it out.
Some you will never imagine, some you may have no problem imagining, there is only a thin line between genius and madness.
Andersen - Generalized Anxiety Disorder
The Danish fairy tale writer is known as the sun of children's literature in the world. His representative works include "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". Although Andersen wrote "Andersen's Fairy Tales", he has been living in worry.

Dutch post-Impressionist painter, the representative work "Sunflowers", Van Gogh's paintings are basically valued in hundreds of millions, and The value of these paintings also suddenly increased after Van Gogh's death. Van Gogh often fell ill and eventually shot himself in a state of insanity at the age of 37.
Beethoven - Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depressive Disorder)
Musician of the Holy Roman Empire, one of the representatives of the Vienna Classical School, later known as the "Music Saint" . Beethoven never married, but his emotional experience was quite rich. When he was 30 years old, he fell in love with a 16-year-old aristocratic lady. Because of their different status, they could not be together. Beethoven almost committed suicide because of her. At the age of 34, he fell in love with a widow, but they couldn't get together because of the huge difference in status.

John Nash was born on June 13, 1928. Famous economist, founder of game theory, prototype of the male protagonist of "A Beautiful Mind". He was a former teaching assistant at MIT and later a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. He mainly studied game theory, differential geometry and partial differential equations. He and two other mathematicians made groundbreaking contributions to the equilibrium analysis theory of non-cooperative games, which had a significant impact on game theory and economics, and won the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics.
John Nash, whose full name is John Forbes Nash, Jr., was born on June 13, 1928 in Bluefield, an industrial city in West Virginia, USA. ) a middle-class family. In 1950, John Nash received his PhD from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, USA. His doctoral thesis of only 27 pages contained an important discovery, which was the game theory later known as "Nash Equilibrium". In 1994, he and two other game theorists, John C. Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten***, won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. His father, John Forbes Nash, Sr., came from Texas and was an electrical engineer who worked for the Appalachian Electric Power Company and was a member of the First World War A veteran who served as a lieutenant in charge of logistics in France; his mother, Margaret Virginia Martin, was born in Bluefield. Before her marriage, she was a local primary and secondary school teacher, teaching English and Latin.
Nash has been introverted and withdrawn since he was a child. He grew up in a family full of affection and warmth. He spent most of his childhood in the company of his mother, grandparents, aunts and relatives' children. However, he always preferred to be alone rather than playing with other children. Read a book or play with your toys.
Although little Nash does not show the characteristics of a child prodigy, he is a smart and curious child who loves reading and learning. Nash's mother had a close relationship with him. Perhaps because of her professional nature as a teacher, she was particularly concerned about Nash's education. She began to personally educate and tutor Nash before he entered kindergarten.
Nash's father liked to share his interest in science and technology with his children. He could patiently answer various natural and technical questions raised by Nash, and gave him many popular science books. As a teenager, Nash was particularly keen on doing experiments in electricity and chemistry, and also loved performing in front of other children.
Nash attended local primary and secondary schools in Bluefield. However, in school, Nash was often criticized by teachers for his social barriers, mavericks, and bad study habits. These problems worried Nash's parents. They tried many methods, but with little success.
In elementary school, Nash’s academic performance (including math scores) was not good, and his teacher considered him to be a student whose academic performance was lower than the intelligence test level. For example, in mathematics, Nash's unconventional problem-solving methods were criticized by teachers. However, Nash's mother had full confidence in Nash, and later facts proved that this unconventional approach was exactly the embodiment of Nash's mathematical talent. This talent first appeared when Nash was in the fourth grade of elementary school. In high school, he could often replace the teacher's blackboard derivation and proof with a few simple steps. What really made Nash realize the beauty of mathematics was probably the biography of mathematicians "Men of Mathematics" written by E.T. Bell that he came into contact with in middle school. Nash successfully proved that the A small problem related to Fermat's Last Theorem, which was also mentioned in his autobiographical article.
In his last year of high school, he accepted the arrangement of his parents and took mathematics as an elective at Bluefield Junior College. However, at this time, Nash did not have the idea of ??becoming a mathematician.
Later, because he won a scholarship from the George Westinghouse Competition, he entered Carnegie-Mellon University in June 1945 and began to major in chemical engineering. Later, he gradually showed his talent in mathematics. In 1948, Nash, who was in his third year of college, was admitted to Harvard, Princeton, Chicago and the University of Michigan at the same time, while Princeton University was more enthusiastic. When Lefshetz, chairman of the mathematics department at Princeton University, sensed Nash's hesitation, he immediately wrote a letter urging him to choose Princeton, which prompted Nash to accept a scholarship of $1,150.
Due to this generous scholarship and the geographical location close to his hometown, Nash chose Princeton University and came to the place where Albert Einstein lived at the time and had contact with him. . He showed interest in topology, algebraic geometry, game theory, and logic. John von Neumann's 1944 book "Game Theory and Economic Behavior" with Princeton University economist Oskar Morgenstern formally laid the foundation for the theory of two-person zero-sum games The basis of modern game theory. In 1950, 22-year-old Nash graduated with a 27-page doctoral thesis on non-cooperative games. In that doctoral thesis of only 27 pages, he proposed an important concept, which was later called the game theory of "Nash equilibrium".
"Nash Equilibrium" was his doctoral thesis at the age of 21, and it also laid the foundation for him to win the Nobel Prize in Economics decades later.
Nash was interested in topological manifolds in pure mathematics. In the summer of 1950, he worked for the American Rand Corporation. At the time, the RAND Corporation was trying to apply game theory to military and diplomatic strategy during the Cold War. After returning to Princeton University in the fall, he did not continue his Ph.D. research, but began to do research on topological manifolds (Manifolds) and algebraic varieties (Algebraic varieties) in pure mathematics that he had originally been interested in during his doctoral studies. I work and teach some undergraduate courses at the same time. But the Princeton mathematics department did not offer him a teaching position, not because of his academic level, but because of his personality.
In 1952, at the age of 24, he began teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His teaching and examination methods were unconventional. If mathematicians in the minds of ordinary people are typical NuttyProfessors who pride themselves on being eccentric, paranoid, and arrogant, then you can imagine that Nash can only be worse than that. Oddly—or perhaps not surprisingly—the mathematics department occupies a building that, although small, is often the tallest on some campuses, as if to reinforce the impression of an ivory tower.
In the field of research, Nash made some breakthroughs in algebraic variety theory, Riemannian geometry, parabolic and elliptic equations. In 1958 he almost won the Fields Prize for his work on parabolic and elliptic equations, but was unable to do so because some of his results were not published in time.
At that time, Nash was "as handsome as a god." He was 1.85 meters tall, weighed nearly 77 kilograms, and had the handsome appearance of a British aristocrat.
During his days at MIT, he met Eleanor Stier while doing a minor leg surgery in a hospital, and in 1953 he had an illegitimate son with her, John David Stier, when he was 25 years old.
In 1955, he dated one of his beautiful students, Alicia Larde, who was from South America and was studying in the physics department of MIT. Alicia admires him, and after some scheming, she finally wins his heart. One night in 1956, Eleanor came to see Nash and discovered Alicia. Eleanor was very annoyed and told Nash's father the result. His father urged Nash to marry Eleanor out of consideration for the illegitimate son. But most of his friends strongly opposed it, saying that there was a huge gap between Eleanor and him. His father died soon after.
In 1957, they got married. The long years that followed proved that this may be the most important thing in Nash's life than winning the Nobel Prize.
Just when he was enjoying success in career and love, Nash was also known as a "lonely genius" because he liked to be alone and solve torturous mathematical problems. He is not a person who is good at dealing with others and is popular with most people. He has the pride and self-centeredness that geniuses often have. His contemporaries generally regarded him as unreasonable. They said that he was "isolated, arrogant, ruthless, ghostly, eccentric, obsessed with his own secret world, and completely unable to understand the worldly concerns of others."
Marriage Finally, in 1958, Nash seemed to be completely transformed, and symptoms of mental disorder were revealed. He showed up at a New Year's party dressed as a baby. Two weeks later, he walked dejectedly into an office full of professors at MIT with a copy of the New York Times, and announced to people that he was receiving some information through the newspaper in his hand, either from the universe. The mysterious power comes either from some foreign government, and only he can decipher the alien codes. When someone asked him why he was so sure it was a message from aliens, he said that insights about supernatural beings are like spiritual ideas in mathematics, with no reason or precursor.
In the fall, Nash was 30 years old and had just received a tenure from MIT, and Alicia was pregnant. Later, their son John Charles Martin Nash was born. He was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia due to auditory hallucinations, and then experienced a series of diagnoses and treatments, brief recovery, and new relapses.
In the summer of 1960, he had dull eyes, unkempt face, long hair shawl, and a beard like a clump of weeds. He was dangling barefoot on the streets of Princeton. People tried to avoid him when they saw him. When he was considered a natural winner of the Fields Medal - the Nobel Prize in mathematics - in 1962, his mental condition prevented him from winning.
In this way, he was almost forgotten by academia.
By the 1980s, several honorary awards were almost awarded to him, but were eventually given up because of his illness. In the late 1980s, the Nobel Committee began to consider giving the field of game theory a chance, and Nash was at the top of the list of candidates. In the end, it did not materialize due to doubts about game theory and concerns about Nash's health.
A few years later, because Alicia couldn't bear living in Nash's shadow, they divorced, but she did not give up on Nash. After the divorce, Alicia never married again. She relied on her meager income as a computer programmer and financial aid from relatives and friends to continue taking care of her ex-husband and their only son. She insisted that Nash should stay at Princeton, because if a person behaves eccentrically, he would be regarded as crazy elsewhere, but in Princeton, a place where geniuses are widely accepted, people will lovingly think that he may be a genius.
Alicia took good care of Nash for 30 years during his illness. By 1970, he had been in several psychiatric hospitals, and his condition gradually stabilized.
While Nash himself was in a dreamlike state of mind, his name began to appear in economics textbooks, evolutionary biology papers, political science monographs, and mathematics journals in the 1970s and 1980s. His name has become a noun in economics or mathematics, such as "Nash equilibrium", "Nash negotiation solution", "Nash program", "DeGeorge-Nash result", "Nash embedding" and "Nash rupture".
Nash's game theory became increasingly influential, but he himself remained unknown. Most young mathematicians and economists who had used his theories assumed that he was dead based on the publication date of his paper. Even though some people knew that Nash was still alive, due to his special illness and condition, they regarded Nash as a dying person.
In the late 1980s, Nash gradually recovered and awakened from madness, and his awakening seemed to be in preparation for a major event in his life: in 1994, he and two other game theorists John C. Harsanyi and Reinhard Selten*** both won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
Nash did not give up his research just because he won the Nobel Prize. In the autobiography of the Nobel Prize winner, he wrote: "From a statistical point of view, there is no mathematician or mathematician who is 66 years old." A scientist can build on his or her previous achievements through continued research work, but I still keep trying because 25 years of partially unrealistic thinking has provided me with a vacation of sorts. The situation may not be conventional. Therefore, I hope to achieve some valuable results through the research results to 1997 or any fresh ideas that emerge later. "
In 2001, after several decades. The stormy Alicia remarried John Nash. In fact, during these long years, Alicia never left Nash mentally. This great woman spent her whole life gambling with fate, and she finally won. And Nash also achieved a balance in the game of gains and losses.
Famous patients with mental illness in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad
Regarding genius and patients with mental illness, Balzac once had an incisive summary: "Genius is a disease of mankind, just as pearls are Bay's pathology."
Newton, schizophrenia, depression, Newton in his later years collected almost all types of mental illnesses in himself. I wonder if it was a sequelae of the apple that hit him on the head when he was young.

Van Gogh, look what he did to himself during his mental illness, drinking turpentine, cutting off his ears, frequently Tormented until the last moment of his life, he shot himself during the illness. It is said that his painting "Starry Sky" was painted under abnormal circumstances.

Nash, one of the most talented mathematicians of the last century, created game theory and won the Nobel Prize in 1994. Suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, the name game theory makes me wonder if I should take some responsibility.

Lincoln had a family history of mental illness and suffered from severe depression. He once saved the entire United States, but he could not free himself from mental illness. Death by assassination may be a fate, but it also seems like a relief.

Zhang Xueliang: At the time of the September 18th Incident, Zhang Xueliang was a severe drug addict with very obvious symptoms. The young marshal was obsessed with smoking in the early days. Later, in order to quit smoking, he fell into the predicament of being dependent on morphine. People recalled: "His body was full of holes, and later there was no place to put needles." "You have to inject morphine every 20 minutes. At the most, 400 injections were given a day."

Gao Yang: The entire family headed by Emperor Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty suffered from severe schizophrenia and mania. , Gao Yang killed his concubine, threw her head on the banquet table, dismembered her in public, and made the bones into musical instruments, but finally gave her a grand burial. She cried more sadly than anyone else at the funeral.

Liu Ling: People with severe alcohol dependence have a habit of showing off when drunk
Liu Ling
There were a large number of patients with occupational neurological diseases among ancient Chinese emperors. How could Wanli, who had not been in court for twenty years, not have autism? Brother Hongli and Qianlong, who wrote more than 40,000 poems, had such a lack of self-control. Who else could have a more typical condition than this old man?
Beethoven - Bipolar Disorder
Ludwig van Beethoven (December 17, 1770---March 1827 August 26), a German composer and musician, one of the representatives of the Vienna Classical School. Ludwig van Beethoven's representative works include the symphonies "Eroica", "Symphony of Destiny", "Pastoral Symphony", "Ode to Joy", piano sonatas "Pathétique", "Moonlight", "The Tempest", "Passion", "Fantasy", "Für Elise", String Quartet "Grand Fugue", etc.
In 1827, the talented musician Beethoven died of pulmonary edema. For his disease, he once resorted to alcohol to numb it. In 1813, Beethoven experienced a low point in his life. At that time, he paid no attention to dressing up and sometimes got angry at parties. During this time, he did not compose again.
He also wrote a letter to his brother about his life, but at that time he was considering suicide. Beethoven, as his friends know him well, was a manic person who could write works immediately as long as he was in a period of climax and excitement. However, most of his world-famous songs were completed during a period of low ebb
Is Liu Ling one of them? In the eyes of others, he is a god of wine and a celebrity, but in my opinion, he is a severe alcohol dependence, a senior exhibitionist, and a standard snakehead.
Liu Ling, whose date of birth and death is unknown, was born in the state of Pei (now Suzhou, Anhui), a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and one of the most famous groups of gods and men in Chinese history - the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". Among the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove", Liu Ling is the one with the lowest social status. He is six feet tall (less than 1.5 meters) and ugly. His silence is golden at ordinary times, but this does not affect his bravery on the road to snake essence disease. Run wildly.
Liu Ling was famous for his alcoholism throughout his life and was known as the "Drunken Marquis". He said that he was the second best drinker, but no one would dare to say that he was the first.
How much do you love wine? The most famous thing is that Liu Ling often rides in a deer cart with a pot of wine, and has people follow him with a shovel, saying: "If I drink to death somewhere, you can bury me on the spot." It’s different, there’s a one-stop service for fun and funeral, everything is arranged in advance.
"If I drink myself to death somewhere, you can bury me on the spot."
Liu Ling actually served as an official. He served under Jianwei General Wang Rong. After taking office as shogunate, he joined the army. It's just that he advocated inaction and didn't take much care in doing things (most of his energy was spent on drinking), so he was dismissed from office. Later, the imperial court sent a special envoy to recruit Liu Ling to serve as an official again. However, Liu Ling was unwilling to do so, so he got drunk, took off his clothes, and started running naked. The special envoy had never seen such a battle before, and he was so frightened that he quickly ran away. Naturally, there was no further progress in his appointment as an official.
Most people find it shocking when they talk about streaking, but for Liu Ling, this is not a problem at all, because his brother will get naked whenever he disagrees. One day when he was having fun at home, he took off his clothes and showed off his ribs. Someone happened to see it and laughed at him. Liu Ling said: "Heaven and earth are my house, and the house is my trousers. What are you doing here in my crotch?" Why are you in my crotch? )
"Heaven and earth are my house, and the house is my trousers. What are you doing here in my crotch?" There must be something wrong with this picture. According to historical records, Liu How can Ling be so plump?
The so-called celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties are not qualified by one person. You must have some specific skills, such as the three popular skills at the time: Fu San, Liu Shang, and Qing Xiao. He looks so high-class, but to put it bluntly, he just takes drugs, drinks alcohol, and whistles. Among them, the drug taken was Wushi Powder, which is said not only to be high, but also to have an aphrodisiac effect. It is equivalent to a mixture of ecstasy and Viagra. According to current standards, the heavy metals consumed exceed the standard. Wang Rong in "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" was so high that he fell into a manhole and was fished out covered in shit. As for "Liu Shang", of course it is Liu Ling's unique skill.
In short, Liu Ling is addicted to alcohol, not to mention other things, because he loves drinking, and there are many idioms related to it, such as pillow song to borrow bad, five buckets to solve the problem, and tasteless fist. , Tao Tao Wu, drinking wine to soothe the cold, there is almost no good word for it. Literati and poets from all walks of life in the past dynasties felt ashamed of themselves and worshiped him like crazy. They wrote countless poems and essays for him, praising his independent personality and spirit of resistance, and regarded him as an advanced model who despised etiquette and indulged in alcohol to avoid the world. But I think, if it were today, he would be locked up in a lunatic asylum, giving up alcohol and snakebite at the same time.
Let’s talk about two outstanding scientists who were trapped by mental illness in their later years.
The first one is the familiar John Nash. He is the protagonist of the blockbuster movie "A Beautiful Mind". He is a famous professor at Princeton University and a world-famous politician. mathematician.
John Nash created the famous game theory and won the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics. Unfortunately, John Nash and his wife were both killed in a car accident in 2015. John Nash died at the age of 86.
John Nash’s scientific path was very bumpy. An unimpressive boy, it was not until college that he showed his talent for mathematics. At the age of 22, he completed his PhD in mathematics at Princeton University. At the age of only 30, he got a tenured teaching position at MIT, but that year he developed auditory hallucinations and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. After that, his life was filled with constant treatment and relapse, and he was transferred to various mental hospitals. But the miracle is that in his later years, he actually recovered from the pain of schizophrenia and became almost like a normal person. He also behaved very appropriately at the Nobel Prize award ceremony. This is simply a miracle in the history of schizophrenia treatment.
Another psychopath was the famous scientist Newton, a world-famous physicist and encyclopedic "All-rounder", but few people know that between the ages of 50 and 51, Newton experienced a mental disorder. There are many explanations for the reasons for Newton's mental breakdown. The first is that he was overworked, which led to excessive use of his brain. Newton often worked all night long. The second is that the death of his mother gave him a heavy blow. The third is that the manuscripts of the two books "Optics" and "Chemistry" on which Newton devoted a lot of effort were burned by a sudden fire. Newton suffered a heavy mental blow, which led to the onset of mental illness.
1. (Manic) Depression
Leslie Cheung
Leslie Cheung committed suicide on April Fool's Day, April 1, 2003. He suffered from severe Depression, but my brother’s depression is physiological and is caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. When it occurs, the pain is abnormal, and at the same time, there will be long-term and persistent depression and loss of will. It is very difficult to cure. Many people will misunderstand that my brother's depression is due to emotional problems. Of course, this cannot be ruled out as part of the reason, but I still hope that more people will understand the truth instead of simply being misled by the media.
2. Schizophrenic Van Gogh
When we appreciate Van Gogh’s exquisite paintings, how can we think that he is a severe schizophrenic patient? He died in a mental hospital in France in 1890 He died by suicide in the hospital. Most of his famous works were completed in the two years after his serious illness. For example, his most famous work "Sunflowers" was created in 1888. I have seen a story before about Van Gogh's severe schizophrenia in his later period. Van Gogh met a 16-year-old prostitute Rachel in a brothel in Arles. Rachel joked to Van Gogh that if he had no money, he would cut off his ears and give them away. To give it to her, Van Gogh actually cut off his ear, wrapped it and gave it to her.
3. Autistic Newton
Newton is a very famous physicist. His contribution is very, very great, but in addition to these remarkable achievements, he is a serious lonely person. disease patients. He hardly talked, lost his temper, and had few friends. When giving lectures, no one came and he could talk to himself in front of the empty classroom. When he was 50 years old, he suffered from severe depression and paranoia. causing him severe mental failure.
In addition to these, there are phobias, personality disorders, etc. If you are interested, you can check it out.

According to statistics, a relatively large proportion of artists suffer from mental illness. The proportion of composers is far ahead. As we all know, Mahler, from his Fourth Symphony, he has begun to hear the feeling of his mental state. Perhaps the composer really needs to be extreme to create a masterpiece that will last forever.
