With many of these people, the condition is highly speculative rather than actually diagnosed.  Some of the symptoms suggested, too, could indicate other conditions - particularly with people like Woody Allen.

Still... I find it reassuring in many ways to maybe share something in common with people who've made such an impact in their own particular ways...

    He looks like a sensitive and troubled man. That picture speaks to me, Mlle Lermontova.

    Thanks. It's always upset me when some commentators describe him as "the demonic priest" or "embodiment of evil" in the novel because of things he does when he's breaking down mentally and physically (besides mentally imploding, he becomes physically ill – a self-inflicted wound is described as "badly healed", i.e. infected, and he has bouts of delirium and hallucinations thereafter).
