Hi CarolAnn,

I agree with Noa--that mental illness is mostly an equal opportunity disorder.

I do believe, however, mental illness can bestow certain gifts on individuals if they already have the innate ability for a certain field--especially with creativity and sensitivity. I was a dancer for many years, and I firmly believe that the gifts from my illnesses helped me achieve what I did. I could always easily hear every note of music, and I could feel music as sensations in my body, I also believe my love of movement is a result of ADHD.

I do believe mental illness takes the box out of our lives, and allows for less conventional, deeper probing, more creative thinking and a greater sensitivity. But it always works with our natural abilities.

Janice
