Hamlet was spiritually and mentally ill while Luther was spiritually and physically ill. Luther suffered from mental and emotional instabilities, such as depression and self-consciousness throughout his life (Judd 324). Additionally, he was affected by frequent mood swings and his bipolar disorder in which he suffered from periods of elation and depression (Bainton 12). He worried about the afterlife and the idea of ​​death, and believed that nothing could save his soul (Bainton 18). He remembers his days at the monastery, the main reason that led him to feel psychological and emotional instability due to distorted religious practice (Judd 326). After his first year at the monastery, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness and guilt soon overwhelmed him (Judd 326). Therefore, he turned to his religious leaders, the sacraments of his church, and the doctrines of his own religions to help him control the guilt he felt. However, they didn't help at all. Additionally, during his years in the monastery, he was obsessed with the practice of fasting from food and drink to worship God. As a result, such practice destroyed his body, and he later stated that such action would simply ruin health and lead to madness (Judd 326). Furthermore, after his hearing in Worms, he felt alone, physically ill and constipated. He also suffered from extreme insomnia and depression (Bainton 191-192). Furthermore, in 1527 he was struggling with "self-reproach for still being alive", and he felt unworthy. As a result, he once again struggled with depression as he lost faith that "God is good and he is good to me." ».”
