A Great Literature Guide to the DSM-5

By Eric Lewin Altschuler

This text examines prominent individuals from great literature and their apparent mental disorders or diseases. It then investigates how those disorders and diseases meet the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5) diagnostic criteria, and how the authors of these stories could have had enough knowledge to create characters who were suffering from mental illness hundreds of years before these illnesses were classified or defined.
