Sylvia Plath and the depression continuum

Depression in Sylvia Plath and Abu Alqasem Al Shabbi's Selected Poems: A Comparative Study

Popular examples of such convergence are in the lifestories of John Nash, the mathematician and Nobel Laureate who suffered from Schizophrenia (Nasar, 1998), Sylvia Plath, the renowned poet who suffered from major depression and who committed suicide (Cooper, 2003), and the 19th century international chess phenomenon, Paul Morphy, who may have succumbed to delusional disorder (Ponterotto, 2012).…”
