I figured we'd do something I've been wanting to do for a while: story time. Specifically, the kind where I take some of history's most famous figures, walk you through what actually happened to them, and then put on my psychiatry resident hat and try to figure out what we'd actually diagnose them with today.
We will be analyzing King of France, Charles VI and Mary Todd Lincoln. Get ready to hear me yap about psychiatric history!
