This book examines prominent individuals from great literature, mostly protagonists and a few bit players, their apparent mental disorder or disease, how those disorders and diseases meet the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5) diagnostic criteria, and how the authors of these storiescould possibly have had enough insight and knowledge to create characters who were so clearly suffering from mental illness hundreds of years before these illnesses were even classified or defined. | A Great Literature Guide to the DSM-5 by Eric Altschuler, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
