Because of this, he decides he must kill Banquo, so that there will be no heir. “Macbeth plots the murder of Banquo, out of jealousy and insecurity.” (Hompi 1) This is obviously an absurd idea, and prior to Macbeth’s murder of King Duncan he never would have considered it as a solution. Shakespeare uses this to show how power corrupts even the best of people. It is obvious that this is still a problem in society today, as people start off with good intentions but slowly get sidetracked. Before long, their objectives have changed completely.

Symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe. Which may causes a damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide.

Since Lady Macbeth set him up to this by insulting his manhood, Macbeth took a turn for the worst when he started experiencing fear and guilt. You’d think he’d put an end to all of this negativity by this point, yet it actually drags out and he continues with doing malicious, unlawful acts. Eventually this leads to more trouble for Macbeth; He begins to struggle with hallucinations and sleeplessness, causing him to become extremely paranoid. He began to lose his human qualities during this process of regaining his ‘so-called’ manhood, as his killing spree was pretty much a joke on his actual manliness. Macbeth’s decadence then led to his marriage to slowly fall apart.
Then again, it depends on the person that is going through the traumatic situation. Some people may need a drug to erase the traumatic memories in order to function. However, to people who have committed unthinkable crimes such as rape, murder, and child abuse, I believe that they should not be allowed an easy way out of those memories. In conclusion, I believe that if scientists perfected a memory improving drug that it should be widely available due to the positive effects it could bring to this world. I

How these drugs help These medications cannot “cure” the illness, but they can take away many of the symptoms or make them milder.

Leshner states, “As with many other brain diseases, addiction has embedded behavioral and social-context aspects that are important parts of the disorder itself” (Leshner). Recognizing addiction as a mental illness can help reduce the health and social costs that are directly related to treating addiction. Research has exposed that drug abuse is a severe health issue, as well as a social issue. Addicts become so obsessed with consuming the substance it causes their immune systems to shut down and causes the addict to be incapable of functioning properly in a social setting. Addiction has severe negative consequences affecting the addict’s mental and physical well being.
The Macbeth household started out in Act I with the couple on the edge of insanity; by the end of the play it fell well over the edge, and took all the readers along for the ride by exposing all of Lady Macbeth, and Macbeth's touchy mental disorders. The obvious mental disorders Macbeth displayed by the end of the play consist of: Post Traumatic Stress, Panic Disorder, and Bipolar Disease. His lover in crime had her own issues to deal with such as Sleep Disorder, and Paranoia. The first time you hear about Macbeth in the play Captain references him on how savage he fought saying; "...For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name- Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, which smoked with bloody execution, Like valor's minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave; Which nev'r shook hands, nor bade farwell to him, Till he unseamed him from the nave to th' chops, And fixed his head upon our battlements." That incident initiates the beginning of Post Traumatic Stress
Illicit use of these drugs can lead to low birth weight, breathing difficulties, death, and of course the possibility of the baby being born addicted to the drug. Drug addictions in infants present themselves as irritability, fevers, and piercing cries. More specifically, cocaine use during pregnancy can cause physical deformities in the child’s eyes, bones, genitals, urinary tract, kidneys and heart and acute growth retardation. They may also experience seizures and hemorrhages. While many people believe that marijuana may not be as harmful as these other drugs, it can still affect the infant in a few ways.
God! How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable, Seem to me all the uses of this world! This is the first time that the reader sees Hamlet’s inner turmoil as he considers committing suicide over the death of his father but decides he cannot, for the consequence would be hell. It is important to note that purgatory and hell are referenced numerous times throughout the play as a consequence for giving into selfish thoughts or actions. In this particular instance however, this soliloquy also lends to the idea that Hamlet is insane due to the passing of his father.
