Actually, a fair amount has been written from a clinical viewpoint about
Hamlet's "Diagnosis". Predictably, he has been said to suffer from every
ailment from bipolar (manic depressive) disorder to multiple personality
disorder. I don't have references at hand, but the work for the most
part is of negligible lit/crit value.

Yes. Hamlet says of Polonius "I took thee for thy better" and I don't
think that's sarcastic.
