Mental Illness Help and Diagnosis online:
Did you know the famous Dutch artist, Vincent van Gogh, suffered all his adult life with a mental illness. It was reported that Vincent van Gogh had Bi-polar Disorder at a time in history when this illness had no recognition and definately no treatment. Most of his famous art work was produced in the final two years of his life, during which time he cut off part of his left ear following a breakdown of an important relationship. After this break up he alternated between episodes of madness and lucidity. Tragically, Van Gogh committed suicide.
