what is wrong with george in queen charlotte

According to the search results, King George III, famously known for being "mad," may have struggled with bipolar disorder, according to more recent research. In the Netflix series "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story," George is depicted as young and handsome but troubled by "madness," which would be recognized as a mental health issue today. The show does not explicitly state what disease he had, and the writers of the show deliberately do not name his condition. Georges illness is characterized by episodes of agitation, rambling, and hypersexuality. In the show, George suffers from incoherent babbling and hallucinations at random points. He is also spotted by Charlotte to be writing on the walls and professing his love to Venus, the Goddess of love, while he is naked. The series includes some pretty horrific scenes of Georges "treatment" at the hands of Dr. Monro. Despite the lack of mental health knowledge and medical resources in the 1700s, Georges mother, Dowager Princess Augusta, dismisses their fears to keep her son in power.
