Hamlet was spiritually and mentally ill while Luther was spiritually and physically ill. Luther suffered from mental and emotional instabilities, such as depression and scrupulosity throughout his life (Judd 324). He also suffered from frequent mood swings and bipolar disorder in which he suffered from periods of elation and depression (Bainton 12). He was concerned about the afterlife and the idea of ​​death and believed that nothing could save his soul (Bainton 18). He recalls his days in the monastery as the main reason that made him experience psychological and emotional instability due to distorted religious practice (Judd 326). After his first year in the monastery, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, and guilt soon overwhelmed him (Judd 326). Therefore, he turned to his religious leaders, the sacraments of his church, and the doctrines of his own religion to help him control the guilt he felt. However, they didn't help at all. Furthermore, during the years he spent at the monastery, he was obsessed with the practice of fasting from food and drink to worship God. As a result, such a practice destroyed his body, and he later claimed that such an action would simply ruin one's health and lead to madness ( Judd 326). Furthermore, after the hearing at Worms, he felt lonely, physically ill and constipated. He also suffered from extreme insomnia and depression (Bainton 191-192). Furthermore, in 1527, he was grappling with the “rebuke of still being alive,” and found himself unworthy. As a result, he once again struggled with depression as he was losing faith that “God is good and that He is good to me”.”
