Hitler's Psyche- Revisited

This New York Times piece discusses what may have led Hitler to do the atrocious acts during his rule in Germany. The article takes into account Hitler's many documented physical illnesses and how they could have impacted his rule. The experts behind the research ultimately decide that while Hitler did suffer from many mental diseases that may have swayed his rule, it was his own set of beliefs that led him to commit his crimes towards humanity. I too believe that this is the most probably cause for Hitler's actions, and that even if he was mentally ill to any degree, that he is still guilty of his actions.
