Abstract

In this article, we have described
the pathographies of fifty composers
who were suffering from psychotic disorders.
A few of them committed suicide
in younger age because of schizophrenia.
Others suffered from paranoid personality
disorder, or were likely to have a bipolar
affective disorder. The vast majority of
composers who attempted to commit suicide
suffered from severe depressive episodes.
Progressive paralysis-neurosyphilis,
as well as alcoholic psychosis were
previously mentioned and published in this
Journal.
