Winston Churchill (1874-1965) was most well known for being the Prime Minister of the UK. Even though from the outside he had a long and successful life, things weren't all smooth for him. He suffered from neglect from both parents when he was young, causing him melancholia and depression in his later years. This was also due to his father constantly pointing out his deficiencies, leading Winston to be permanently insecure. He would go between extreme hyperactivity, to depression, when he would have the realization that his accomplishments would not make up for the love he never received from his parents. This back and forth between these severe moods led professionals to believe he was Bi-Polar. His determination and resilience empowered him to deal with his inner turmoil
while he turned outwardly to his political career.
