A possible explanation for Lincoln's fits of rage?
The 16th President of the United States took the pills in the 1850s to alleviate what one contemporary described as the ?cave of gloom? in which he lived. ... Scientists at the Royal Society of Chemistry, where the tests were carried out, believe the high mercury content in the pills is what caused Lincoln?s famous verbal and physical rages.
The little blue pills that sent Abraham Lincoln into a rageDoes this sound plausible or more like speculation?

Prozac? Did his gloom or the pills make him write in such a manner? More!
Lincoln's presidency was the most stressful one in American history. I'd be throwing fits everyday if I had armies within cannon distance of me, spies all around, a crazy wife (did I say crazy?…yeah I did anyhoo), incompetent generals who can't cut the mustard against Bobby Lee and his rag tags, copperheads and defeatists pushing for my job, and moralists clamoring for me to free slaves. How many of you guys could keep your cool without blowing your top every now and then? This from someone who isn't a Lincoln apologist.
I would be full of rage if i was him too. Your President of the United States and suddenly your richest states leave the country. Then when war is started you loose everything in the east untill 1863 and then everything after that is not a picnick. Also your youngin dies while you are in office and your ugly wife is always depressed. Yeah i dont think i could have done that i might have “accadentaly” rode to far into confederate lines one day when i was inspecting the troops.
