Don't know enough about his life to discuss intelligently. I read An American Tragedy and the Genius. I think sometimes brilliant creativity is mistaken for madness by those less perceptive. Some forms of behavior are yet unacceptable to the masses of humanity. Those with monster creative genius are usually only recognized by subsequent generations.

X, I believe that Theodore Dreiser would have written his books whether he had been on Prozac or not. They were in his soul and Prozac does not interfere with that depth of a person. Despite all the hysteria about the antidepressants, they provide for the vast majority of their users merely a floor for an otherwise seemingly endless plunge, a plunge that can kill the ability to write. If he had been taking antipsychotics such as Haldol.... But do you really think that antipsychotic drugs would have been prescribed for Dreiser? His works are those of a clinical depressive but psychotic?
