His dementia (paecox), from tertiary syphillis, ended his productive life. He lived a vegetative, catatonic life for quite a while (I believe about 11 years), under the tutelage of his proto-Nazi sister who (ab)used his out-of-context writings for her politicial party's gains. He even predicted that she would do that before he lost his mind.

You may wish to read more about his people of ressentment.
