9. Mary Suffered From Severe Headaches During Her Adult Years
Many people feel Mary suffered from depression throughout her life, which also contributed to her severe headaches. She would lay in bed for days trying to get rid of a headache. Other symptoms that accompanied the headaches included vomiting, nausea, and sensitivity to light.
Unfortunately, Mary’s headaches grew worse after she suffered a carriage accident while living in the White House. Reportedly, she fell out of the carriage and hit her head, receiving a head injury from the fall. The accident and headaches also made her depression grow worse over time.
