actually, interestingly enough, we talked about Hamlet in one of my Psych classes, although briefly. Our topic of debate wasn't if he was schitzo or not (yes that a proffessional term...

) but if he suffered from pariond schitzophrinia or not. I was on the side that he did because he always felt like people were after him, but others argued that since there techinqually were people after him, it doesn't count. *shrugs* the real question is, how mess up was Shakespeare to create all the DSM-IV canidits that he did?
