title: Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55): a bicentennial pathographical review.
abstract: Researchers in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, medicine and theology have made exhaustive efforts to shed light on the elusive biography/pathography of the great Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813-55). This 'bicentennial' article reviews his main pathographical diagnoses of, respectively, possible manic-depressive [bipolar] disease, epilepsy, complex partial seizure disorder, Landry-Guillain-Barré's acute ascending paralysis, acute intermittent porphyria with possible psychiatric manifestations, and syphilidophobia.
