When did Munch experience his mental breakdown?

  • 1910

  • 1908

  • 1912

Answer

Munch had a mental breakdown in 1908. The breakdown came after he had been working on his series of paintings called The Frieze of Life, which depicted the cycle of life, birth, love, death, and rebirth. The paintings were extremely personal and emotional, and they took a great toll on Munch's mental health. After the breakdown, Munch spent time in a sanatorium and was treated for depression.
