This is a brief look at the psychiatric ailments of some of the great composers: two of whom committed suicide; four suffered from severe depression; three had other assorted ailments; and three were suffering from manic depressive illnesses. Their mood swings are compared with their periods of intense composition. For some composers it seems that they are most productive immediately after a phase of depression.
其中两位自杀；四位患有严重抑郁症；三位有其他各种疾病；还有三位患有躁郁症。他们的情绪波动与创作高峰期相比较。对一些作曲家而言，似乎在一段抑郁期之后他们的创作力最为旺盛。
