lincoln of want to mention briefly because lincoln was another individual who suffered as a child when his mother died. he was a very young boy. his sister who cared for them after that died in childbirth at a young age. and his father was not somebody that lincoln connected with. his father was very hard on his son. lincoln struggled to some degree throughout his life with what he called melancholy and what his contemporaries described as very, very, very distinct melancholy. one of them calling it just dripping from lincoln as he walked. another one saying he had the saddest eyes i have ever seen. when he was in his late 20s he had his first depressive episode, and was even suicidal. his friends were concerned about him taking a nice way to making sure he didn't anything unsafe. i just wanted to give you a glimpse of what he appeared as by his contemporary, his law partner, kept a very detailed notes of lincoln and described what he looked like and how he appeared. he talked about lincoln's mood could shift from cheerful and good-natured choose add, terribly gloomy state. during the
