Best Answer

Lewis Carroll is rumored to have had some eccentric behaviors and interests, but there is no concrete evidence to support the claim that he was "mad." He was known to have had a vivid imagination and to enjoy entertaining children with his stories and puzzles.

No, Charles Dodgson wasn't mentally ill. Although he is reported to have been quite shy and to have suffered from a stammer.

There is also a theory that he might have suffered from epilepsy, but this is unproven.

No, Lewis Carroll was completely sane. He was a highly intelligent man who held a repectable and responsible job for his whole adult life. He was never diagnosed with any form of mental illness and his extensive diaries give no indication that he ever suffered from one.
