Hey Cool Cat,
You must be doing a paper. Here are some sites to help.
There is dispute today about the cause of this illness and whether it was related to King George's later madness. His wife, Queen Charlotte, felt that he was overly stressed by the duties of kingship, and certainly that was a difficult time for George, who was struggling to hang on to the rebellious American colonies.
His Majesty's Embarrassing Illness
In 1788, two years after Margaret Nicholson's assassination attempt, King George had another breakdown. He suffered fits of gloom alternating with excited spells during which he talked incessantly and behaved oddly -- for instance, he presented a visitor to the palace with a blank sheet of paper for no apparent reason.

A very kind and gentle man, I would say that his greatest sorrow is 'being misunderstood" . Science was unreliable during his day and time, and the condition of his seeming mental illness remained undiagnosed and untreated.

Loss of the American colonies, I guess.
