Ernest Hemingway is widely regarded as one of the greatest fiction writers of all time. During his life, he demonstrated several signs of psychological suffering with gradual worsening and presentation of cognitive issues over his late years. Some of his symptoms and the course of his disease suggest that he might have suffered from an organic neurodegenerative condition that contributed to his decline, which culminated in his suicide in 1961. In this historical note, we discuss diagnostic hypotheses compatible with Hemingway's illness, in light of biographical reports.
欧内斯特·海明威被广泛认为是有史以来最伟大的小说家之一。在他的一生中,他表现出了一些心理痛苦的迹象,随着年龄的增长,认知问题逐渐恶化和出现。他的一些症状和疾病过程表明,他可能患有某种导致他衰退的有机神经退行性疾病,最终导致他在 1961 年自杀。在这篇历史笔记中,我们根据传记报道讨论了与海明威疾病相容的诊断假设。
