Thanks for that John. I find it very interesting because we have Social Anxiety Disorder in my family, traceable back to my grandmother and down to my 2nd cousin. I find it very interesting that he struggled against his biology and became a conqueror!

( I presume the 'him' you are referring to is Winston Churchill and his "Black Dog".) It is a family trait (depression) that is traceable back to the First Duke of Marlborough. Winston's father, Lord Randolph Churchill, had a variety of Bipolar Disorder, that accounts for much of his irascible and mercurial temperament. There are a number of co-morbidities for depressives and I am unaware of any that Diana had, such as chronic alcoholism. John In a message dated 9/15/2008 7:02:26 P.M.

What an earth might be prompting such an interest on your part? Most of us on this Chat Room would probably want to know your definition of a "scandal". Webster's defines it as: Scandal 1. Disgraceful gossip about the private lives of other people. 2. A disgraceful event. I presume these are the definitions you have in mind, and maybe the latter more than the former!! So where does one go from here? I suppose it depends a little on some examples of scandals and really determining whether they are mild perturbations of behavior or egregious (possibly lascivious) episodes. For instance, what do you mean by a troublesome child (Diana) as being possibly 'scandalous'? What do you think you are looking for, besides two (and possibly three) of WSC's children having trouble "holding their liquor"? Please advise and clarify your purpose. Thanks. John John H.
