This is not a comment on the poster, but I have read how Einstein, Newton, Churchill, and Jesus had ADHD, autism, leprosy, and every
other pop psychology disease thrown at them, especially when it is used to make the "average" Joe feel like they aren't just mere mortals compared to these true giants of history.
Certainly great people have something unique/unusual about them, and certainly some of them probably did have mental problems, but I hate it when some journalist or therapist who wants to make a name for themselves or plays amateur psychologist tries to diagnose people from a different time, place, and culture.
A lot of things the ancients did we would associate with downright insanity today, but they were just part of their time - just as whoever succeeds us in the future will be downright disgusted with probably just about everything we do now.
