We also examine the mental health challenges that shadowed his later years—his erratic behavior, isolation, and controversial statements—raising speculation about conditions like paranoid schizophrenia, delusional disorder, and OCD. Finally, we discuss his legal battles, financial struggles, and the tragic decline of one of history’s greatest minds.
