Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States, suffered from episodes of severe depression throughout his life. In 1841 he wrote: “I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on the earth. Whether I shall ever be better, I cannot tell.”
