Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert E. Howard''s health, especially his mental health, has been the focus of the biographical and critical analysis of his life. In terms of physical health, Howard had a weak heart which he treated by taking digitalis. The precise nature of Howard''s mental health has been much debated, both during his life and following his suicide. Three main points of view exists. Some have declared that Howard suffered from an Oedipus complex or similar mental disorder. Another viewpoint is that Howard suffered from Major depressive disorder. The third view is that Howard had no disorders and his suicide was a common reaction to stress. Howard had a weak heart, which was treated by taking digitalis. The first indication of this problem came when, while working with an oil-field surveyor in the period before he became a successful author, Howard passed out in the heat. A later diagnosis confirmed that his heart had a mild tendency to race under stress and he was told that a heavy blow to his chest could be fatal.
