Not to mention his ultimate suicide. Abbie Hoffman was a bipolar '60s freedom fighter who committed suicide, and Hunter Thompson makes him look like a choir boy!<br /><br />Thompson's own son referred to him as a "basket case" at home. I say that not to malign bipolar people, but it's worth noting that he could never hold a typical job and was often verbally abusive to his wife and child. And very, very often intoxicated. If those aren't bipolar behaviors, I don't know what would be. Mood disorders run heavily in my family so I've seen enough BD to know what it looks like :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4943214872952909313.post-36343002288365121322017-03-22T03:26:04.979-07:002017-03-22T03:26:04.979-07:00I have never seen evidence to suggest bipolar, how...I have never seen evidence to suggest bipolar, however he fits the profile for adult ADHD extremely well- with his remarkable tangential jokes, his capacity to hyperfocus on a story till it was done.

The Good Doctor broke the mold on writing and changed the world and the voice of counter-culture. His work and antics will live on to influence even more generations to come. I paid tribute to Hunter S Thompson and his work with my portrait and article on my artist's blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-memoriam-hunter-s-thompson.html DREGstudios!
