More information about Final Jeopardy:
The famed letter referred to in the clue is to Vincent Van Gogh’s brother Theo; he had already been suffering from mental health issues for a number of months at that point; a well-documented incident of self-harm occurred when Vincent Van Gogh sliced off much of his own left ear.
Vincent Van Gogh succumbed to this mental illness in 1890 when he took his own life.
If you’re looking for mental health resources, Americans can visit mentalheath.gov; Canadians can visit Healthy Minds Canada.
