# 4 Dr John  Nash 



Who knew that a mathematician is not Immune from mental Illness. Dr. John Nash was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. His experience with schizophrenia and mental illness inspired him to make a book called A Beautiful Mind that turned into a movie in 2001.

# 5 Abraham Lincoln



US 5th president was diagnosed with clinical depression. The depression became worse when there were several deaths in this lifetime including his own son.
