Zelda's Schizophrenia Induced Homicidal Suicide Attempt

In June 1930, Zelda Fitzgerald was diagnosed with schizophrenia following a tragic incident where she attempted to drive her family off a cliff on the Grande Corniche. This alarming event raised serious concerns about her mental health, leading to her diagnosis. Zelda's struggle with mental illness was a significant aspect of her life, impacting both her personal and professional relationships. In search of effective treatment, Zelda and her husband, the renowned author F. Scott Fitzgerald, traveled to Switzerland. This journey marked a pivotal moment in their lives, as they sought to navigate the complexities of mental health during a time when such issues were often stigmatized and poorly understood. Zelda's diagnosis and subsequent treatment reflect the broader challenges faced by individuals with mental health conditions in the early 20th century, highlighting the need for compassion and understanding in the face of such struggles. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #ZeldaFitzgerald #Schizophrenia #MentalHealth #F.ScottFitzgerald #HistoricalDiagnosis
