Why Nicola Tesla is neurotic?

Answer 1

He was not neurotic as such. OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, was first named in the late 19th century, but it has probably existed throughout human history. It is normal that brain with high IQ would develop it sometime in the life. Tesla caught a bad case of cholera as a child and almost died. He became celibate and most historians believe that it came for an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
