Are you fond of hearing amusing real-life stories mixed with an interesting, true-life mystery? If so, check out Shakey's Madness. Does a mental disorder reveal the "real" William Shakespeare? Back in the 16th and 17th centuries, bipolar disorder was a mystery, and even as late as the early 2000s, most doctors had difficulties diagnosing it. Unlike COVID-19, there is no swab test for antibodies. No blood test. It is a mood disorder, so doctors rely on their patients to "self-report" their symptoms and ask them questions like, "Were you in a good mood yesterday?" What has this got to do with William Shakespeare? His poems, plays, and sonnets talk about the author feeling "melancholy" or depressed along with thoughts of deep distress and suicide. After all, who has not heard of Hamlet's famous line, "To be or not to be, that is the question", and in that very line, Hamlet contemplates taking his own life.
