22. Mental Illness Ran In The Van Gogh Family

It is pretty common knowledge to people who have read about Vincent van Gogh to notice he struggled with various mental illnesses. Upon further research, historians have found that mental illness was a big piece of the Van Gogh family, and Vincent was far from the only family member to suffer through mental illness. In fact, several of his siblings and both of his parents were known to struggle with their own mental illness. Unfortunately, because Van Gogh was so sensitive, he had more trouble handling his mental illness than other members of his family.
