Best Answer

Van Gogh had schizzophrenia

Very likely, Van Gogh, like Goya and other painters of that era who used "flake white" suffered from dementia induced by lead poisoning.

Vincent Van Gogh most likely suffered from schizophrenia, an anxiety disorder and severe depression, as it is possible to suffer multiple psychiatric conditions at the same time.

There have been various theories about Van Gogh's mental state, there has even been mention of a possible brain tumour. But it does seem to come down to the fact that he suffered from a severe form of bipolar mood disorder. He certainly had so many of the symptoms, and eventually committed suicide. Much has been written about Van Gogh and his behaviour, and many bipolar sufferers, including myself, can see the signs.
