Professionals who have struggled with the affliction include authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald[2] and Joseph Mitchell,[3] pop culture cartoonist Charles M. Schulz[4] and British songwriter Adele.[5] Research concerning this topic was done in the late 1970s and 1980s.

The condition was first described in 1947 by psychoanalyst Edmund Bergler.[6]
