I finally read Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass from start to finish. I had an unsettled feeling through most of the reading. It was like experiencing the minds of mental patients, from their point of view.

Then I learned that Lewis Carroll suffered from head-splitting headaches, which made him vomit. He had aura migraines, and these may have caused him to experience the syndrome thatβs now known as Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, where body size perception is distorted.
He had an uncle who was killed by a lunatic asylum patient. Carroll had gone to an asylum with his uncle prior to the incident (an expert on insanity), and may have sat at a table with patients, possibly witnessing an exchange similar to the Tea Party.
All of the characters appear to exhibit various mental disorders, schizophrenia, rage, AIWS, paranoia, inability to recognize facial features, memory loss, split personality disorder, bipolar, eating disorders, etc.
Carroll had a fascination with mental instability.
