With Queen Charlotte getting everyone interested, here's my favourite version of George III and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, from the opening of The Madness of King George by Alan Bennett!

“I've always been myself, even when I was ill. Only now I seem myself. And that's the important thing. I have remembered how to seem.”

watching Queen Charlotte, I can't help but be fascinated by the show's depiction of King George III's illness. modern assessments identify him as Bipolar (type I).
and so, I watch, and I think that I should feel it's an overdramatization of things. and then I pause and reflect on my own situation prior to finding the appropriate medication: how episodic it can be; the peaks (feeling like a king, natch), the deathly valleys; the fear and anxiety; the sudden triggers; the fits of rage; the tremors (they would be labeled as psychomotor agitation); the treatment, and how it still feels barbaric. I never experienced a psychotic break, but I did have hallucinations.
it hurts to say, but they get it right. that's what untreated Bipolar-I looks like.
'the madness of king george' is an excellent film, btw.

I updated my header so I don't look like a bot account anymore with that starter kit orange and blue, and that random af Legacies pfp, YAY!
Also, can you tell I'm in my Fyodor phase?
(Not a Fyo kinnie, but he's one of my fave characters. I fell in love with him after killed Ace. He probably would've become my fave sooner if my streaming service had season two avalible, yes, I'm still mad about it!)

Muppet Fact #745
Tim Curry starred in the unaired pilot for Madness Reigns, a 1998 sitcom produced by the Jim Henson Company. The show followed Curry as King Nicholas Serge Rudolph George Leopold Ludwig Von Ebelskiver of Lichtenbourg-Hvoristan who was exiled from his country and now living in New York City with his family, many of whom were puppets. The show was never greenlit.
