Artaud’s mother had nine children, however only he and one sister survived childhood.

When Artaud was only four years old, he was diagnosed with a severe case of meningitis; this gave him a nervous temperament during his adolescent years. He also suffered from neuralgia and he was treated using opium, which eventually resulted in a lifelong addiction.
