Ludwig van Beethoven and Bipolar Disorder

Ludwig van Beethoven
Many famous people suffer from psychological disorders that affect their life either negatively or, at times, the disorders contribute to their success and genius. Ludwig van Beethoven is known for his exceptional gift for composing beautiful music which contrasts to his difficult life at home. Beethoven not only suffered from deafness, but he also suffered from bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is characterized by the shifting between emotional extremes. Sufferers of this disorder go from extreme mania to extreme depression at unexpecting times and cannot explain why they vary moods so often.

Beethoven endured a difficult family life. His father was very abusive, but although this was so, Beethoven's father also taught him continuously about music after he saw that Beethoven took an interest in it at an early age. At this young age, before he even became a teenager, Beethoven had already produced his first work. Beethoven went on to produce sveral more symphonies and operas and other musical creations, while he suffered from bipolar disorder. As he got older, the disease began to affect him more and more. Beethoven often pondered suicide, a common symptom of bipolar disorder, but he also wished for more days like the ones where he experienced mania, or extreme happiness. This mania allowed him to work harder and produce more works because it brought him optimism and confidence and boosted his creativity level. Although Beethoven had days of joy he also had days of extreme depression as characterized by bipolar disorder, which caused him to have rocky relationships because of his explosive arguments and delusions. Eventually, after fighting a cold and other health problems, Beethoven died on March 26, 1827 in the company of his friends.



Although bipolar disorder is a very serious mental disorder and during the times of Beethoven there was not much relief for the victims, I believe that now it is manageable disease. Bipolar disorder may be difficult to deal with at times because of the altering moods experienced and the feelings of extreme depression, but with the help of medicine and medical advances, it is possible to lead a fairly normal life and one can have a much better outllok on life than ones suffering from bipolar disorder in earlier times had.

This is very interesting and it is written extremely detailed. I liked how you described what and how bipolar disorder effects people and how it effected Beethoven's work and life.

I loved your article! It is very detailed about how the disorder attributed to Beethoven's failures and successes. The only thing you may want to improve on is how this disorder is dealt with by other people. 98!

You had really thorough information in this entry, especially about Beethoven's life. It's interesting to see how the disorder impaired him, but he was still able to do amazing things. I enjoyed reading it.

Wow. I knew that Beethoven was deaf, but I had no idea that he was also bipolar. I've heard and played some of his music, but until this point I never really considered the wide range of emotions present. Love, anger, joy, are all often found in the same piece. Like Fur Elise.

i liked your analysis about how beeethoven was effected by the disease. it was interesting to learn how despite the disorder, he was a great musician, which just proves that disorders do not have to limit a person's capabilities in life, which is a big misconception.
great post

Here is  my testimony on how I was cured of HIV by Dr Akhigbe,with his natural herbal medicine.  on a regular basis in efforts to help others when I could. As you may know, each donation is tested.  Well, on July 6th I had a meeting with a Red Cross representative and was told that I had HIV. “What went through your mind when you heard that "Rose" Good question reader! To be honest, I thought my life was over, that I would ever find love, get married, have children or anything normal. Lucky for me I have an amazing support system.  My family supported me then I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions.  We even talked about marriage Scary.  During that time I was in college and donated blood on a re as well. who helped me in search of cure through the media.there we saw a good testimony of sister 'Kate' about the good work of Dr Akhigbe natural herbal medicine cure.then I copied his email address and contacted him. A good herbalist doctor with a good heart, he is kind, loving and caring. He replied back to my message and told me what to do. After a week the doctor sent me my herbal medicine and instructed me how to take it.Yes it worked very well, after drinking it I went to the hospital for another test and everything turned negative. What a wonderful testimony I can never forget in my life. Dr Akhigbe is a man who gave me a life to live happily forever so all I want you all to believe and know that cure of HIV is real and herbs is a powerful medicine and it works and heals.  Dr Akhigbe also used his herbal medicine to cure diseases like:   HERPES, DIABETES, SCABIES, HEPATITIS A/B, STROKE, CANCER, ALS, TUBERCULOSIS, ASTHMA, PENIS ENLARGEMENT, MALARIA, LUPUS, LIVER CIRRHOSIS, DEPRESSION, HIV/AIDS, EPILEPSY, BACTERIAL, DIARRHEA, HEART DISEASES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, PARKINSON'S, ALZHEIMER, COLD URTICARIA, HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS,INSOMNIA,  BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS, SCHIZOPHRENIA, JOINT PAIN, STOMACH PAIN, CHROME DISEASES, CHLAMYDIA, INSOMNIA HEARTBURN, ,  THYROID, MAR BURG DISEASES, MENINGITIS, ARTHRITIS, BODY WEAK, SMALLPOX, DENGUE, FEVER, CURBS, CHANCRE, AND OTHERS VARIOUS DISEASES/ VIRUS.   You are there and you find yourself in any of these situations, kindly contact Dr Akhigbe now to help you get rid of it.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

Dr. Ehimare has really made me so much believe in him by getting me cured of Herpes with his herbal medicine. I have been a Herpes virus patient for some time now, I have been running here and there looking for help/cure but none could help. I ran into a testimony by someone who testified how she was cured of a terrible disease by Dr. Ehimare, so I decided to contact the herbal doctor. I explained to him, and he said he can cure me. We started the process and he prepared herbs and sent them to me in my country and gave me directions on how I am to use them. I followed his directions and now To God be the glory he could cure me with his herbal mixture. I really appreciate you Dr. Ehimare for bringing back happiness to my life again. thanks you so much friends that has join me to thank Dr. Ehimare for what he has actually done for me i pray to you all for a good life and property, his contact.
