There is no definitive evidence to suggest that George Frideric Handel, the renowned composer, had schizophrenia. Some historians and biographers have speculated about his mental health due to reports of his erratic behavior and periods of intense creative output, but these interpretations are largely conjectural. Handel did experience health issues later in life, including a stroke, which may have affected his behavior. Ultimately, without concrete historical documentation, any claims regarding his mental health remain speculative.
