Members,

Mental illness can affect everyone. Famous people are no exception. 

Famous mathematician Isaac Newton suffered from nervous breakdowns.  Some people have said he may have suffered from Bipolar Disorder.

Beethoven was said to suffer from Bipolar Disorder as well. 

Abraham Lincoln – it is said he suffered from a very severe depression.  He was driven to overcome his depression and still be successful as a President.

Brook Shields – She wrote a book on her postpartum depression entitled ‘Down Came the Rain: My Journey Through Postpartum Depression”
