Interesting post. I'm looking forward to taking a look at some of the books and articles suggested here. My own suggestion is: "In Sickness and in Power" by Sir David Owen which is a recent book that includes a particularly interesting chapter on JFK's struggle with Addison's Disease and it's consequences for US Foreign Policy from the Bay of Pigs fiasco to the Cuban Missiles Crisis.

I have two examples to get going: 1. King George III and his afflictioon of Acute Intermittent Porphyria, how it affected the course of the American history. 2. Vincent van Gogh and his affections and how they affected his art. It would be great if you could pitch in with some more ideas.
