King George definitely had some king of mental illness and his episodes seemed to be triggered by extreme stress and anxiety. However, no one can seem to agree on what the illness was. Some speculate a bipolar disorder, others think it might've been schizophrenia and/or paranoïa. Others even suggest it was some sort of blood disease that affected his nervous system. There wasn't enough precise documentation of his symptoms and the treatments available back in his time seemed to have aggravated and/or accelerated his condition.
This series made me someone who doesn’t cry full on sob sob sob so just be prepared.

I love watching these types of reactions. Can't wait to see how you deal with the finale.
The next episode is really gonna hurt. 😢
