What do we know about George III's symptoms?
(snip)
The King experienced both physical and mental symptoms, including fever, frequent vomiting, and swelling of the legs and feet.The King also complained of aches and pains in his stomach, head and joints, which were so painful that he was unable to walk without a stick.

His daughter Princess Elizabeth described a rash which was ‘very red and in great weals, as if it had been scourged by cords’. His doctors mentioned a yellowing of the eyes, dark urine and a series of violent spasms.
The most alarming effect of the King’s illness was his periods of mania. At their mildest George experienced a ‘a desire of talking that he was unable to control’. Often, he would talk for hours until he was hoarse and foaming at the mouth.
Despite his kind nature, his illness caused the King to exhibit inappropriate and wild behaviour. He was sometimes violent towards his staff and doctors, and on one occasion he was violent towards Queen Charlotte.
The moment in which the doctors decided that George III needed prolonged treatments, was a dreadful meal with the Prince of Wales, during which the King berated him in front of Queen Charlotte and the Princesses. The evening ended with George III picking his son up and throwing him on the floor.

I was thinking about how *rump and his crew of bullies treated President Zelensky with total disrespect in the Oval Office.
