ERNEST HEMINGWAY: 1899-1961

Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway was tricked into admitting himself to a psychiatric institution. He was given more than 20 electroshock treatments. The result devastated him. Shortly afterwards, he told a friend, "Well, what is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient...." In July 1961, days after being released from the Mayo psychiatric clinic, Hemingway committed suicide.
