Nietzsche's Illness Diagnosis Issues: A Review of His Clinical Records and Some Recent Hypotheses (2018)
A notorious episode took place in Turin in January, 1889: Nietzsche’s mental breakdown. That very occurrence marks the start of the hospitalization of the philosopher in mental institutions: accompanied by his friend Franz Overbeck, he first went to Basel where he stayed only for a week (from the 10th to the 17th of January, 1889); he was then taken by his mother to Jena where he actually stayed for more than a year (from January 18th , 1889 to March 24th, 1890). The article focuses on the philosopher’s diagnosis starting from his clinical records, passing though the hypotheses of his contemporaries, until some recent ones.
