If William Shakespeare DID NOT WRITE the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to him, then who did?

from The Relatable Voice Podcast · host Lucia Matuonto

In Shakey’s Madness: does a mental disorder reveal the real author of William Shakespeare, author Robert Boog offers a simple, yet totally original explanation: the “real” author suffered from bipolar disorder. “Back in the late 1500’s, not much was known, if anything about bipolar disorder. Even as late as the early 2000’s, most doctors still had a problem with diagnosing it. Unlike Covid-19, there is no swab test for antibodies. No blood test. Many times, doctors do not even require a physical exam because it is a mood disorder, so doctors rely on their patients to “self-report” their symptoms.” According to Boog, bipolar depressive symptoms such as feeling “melancholy” or depressed, deep distress and suicidal thoughts can all be found in the Shakespeare canon. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lucia-matuonto/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lucia-matuonto/support
