Contemplating existence...Questioning the unanswerable... It leads you nowhere but it's a never ending internal conflict with a philosopher..

Know of any particular philosophers in history who went legally insane? Maybe even committed suicide?
By insane I mean : Can't even function, loony bin insane... a mental breakdown.
There are times when I fear that I won't be able to handle my own thoughts someday .. but I also feel that I'm strong so I can embrace the thoughts positively enough where it doesn't get to me to the point where I can't function on a normal level in this life..

but I know there must be some out there who couldn't handle the deep thoughts.. and drove themselves mad over it.. but I want to know if there are any famous cases of this so I can read up on him/her.
