Shakey’s Madness: Does a Mental Disorder Reveal the “Real” William Shakespeare? by Robert P Boog

Have you always been fascinated by history – even just a little bit? If you have, odds are you’ll be delighted by this gem of a book. You won’t be getting the popular story of how William Shakespeare’s name is on the plays, poems, and sonnets, so why doubt him? Instead, using a unique, and original approach, author Robert Boog points out the glaring errors. For example, if the man from Stratford-upon-Avon was the “real” author, when why the fainting, insomnia, despair, depression, and suicidal thoughts found in the Shakespeare canon?

Boog points out that these things are symptoms of Bipolar II Affective Disorder (pronounced “Bipolar Two Affective Disorder) and Shakey’s Madness explains how these symptoms can only be found in 2.6% of today’s population, so this percentage may have been even smaller during the Elizabethan era. Bipolar symptoms fit only one person living during the time of Queen Elizabeth. Who? Read Shakey’s Madness to discover: does a mental disorder reveal the “real” William Shakespeare?
