Information
The depression to which Lear was subject throughout most of his life, despite the whimsical humour of his poetry, may have been partly due to the epileptic attacks which gave him a sense of isolation. As a young child he was sent to Margate for a course of exercises and spa water as a treatment for his epilepsy.
