Macbeth With anger, illusions, stress and so much more I will analyze Macbeth and lady Macbeth for their problems and disorders. In my research I will decipher between certain diseases such as bipolar disease, anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive, panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, sleeping disorder, and paranoia to see exactly which one of these stress/hurtful symptoms in which they both share. I’ve got my observation information from many resources such as doctor, psychiatrist, prison guards, and the dictionary. And overall I would find them very resourceful. In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth there is clearly some mental issues that the main character Macbeth battles between himself, early on in the beginning of the tragedy a side of gruesome is explained when the captain states “which nev’r shook hands, nor blade farewell to him, till he unseamed him from the nave to the chops” in the first battle with Norway. With this quote you can tell in some sick way he was demented in his mind to show no remorse even in the face of death. to decapitate his enemies and to forge their heads upon the ends of his swords shows signs of schizophrenia some symptoms are hallucinations, delusions, racing thoughts, apathy, lack of emotion, poor or nonexistent social functioning. Macbeth shows the lack of emotion and poor or nonexistent social functioning. And for this profound case of schizophrenia I would diagnose him with clozapine. Clozapine is often significantly cheaper than other antipsychotic medications. He would be given a mandatory minimum of 3 years with psychiatric help with to break him free of any problems to do with his schizophrenia disorder. And he would be judged before released in to the society to converse and interact with normal everyday
