There is debate among scholars about the exact reasons for Edgar Allan Poe's mental health struggles, which may have been influenced by factors such as his turbulent personal life, substance abuse issues, and a potential predisposition to mental illness. Poe's experiences with loss and trauma may also have played a role in his emotional distress and the themes of madness often present in his writings.
Other than serious mental and physiological depression, especially marked after the death of his wife, Virginia, and Alcoholism, the only indications that Poe was mentally ill came from a highly suspect source. Rufus Griswold, a writer who hated Poe, somehow became his literary executor. The 'obituary' he wrote and the biography he later released used misconstruction, implication and outright lies to ruin Poe's posthumous reputation. It was many years before this became apparent, by which time it was firmly fixed in the public mind that Poe was insane.
No, but he suffered from bouts of depression such as while his wife was ill for 5 years with tuberculosis and later died from it. Although some of Poe's characters in his stories were insane, Poe was certainly not insane.
