I was unaware Gödel ended mentally disturbed!  There's quite a collection of 
famous mathematicians whose mental health degraded, but I didn't know he was 
one of them. (I would easily imagine, though, that he was responsible for some 
serious despair of other mathematicians :-).

Which is nice!  Thanks for this!
