N2  - The literary character Alexei Kirillov from the Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel "Demons" is presented. Emphasis is placed on Kirillov's suicide and the answer to the question whether it is a psychiatric case or an existential hero we are speaking of. The Dostoevsky's case illustrates the good use of a common neurological disorder (epilepsy) by a remarkable writer, who transforms suffering into art and a disadvantage into an advantage. © 2019, Bulgarian Psychiatric Association (BPA).
