I found Jamison's book an intriguing, if sobering, read. I certainly have never been to her level of psychosis, although at times I feel like I'm only a step away from full-blown manic depression. Unfortunately, lithium has never worked for me ... in some way, although it slows me down, I wonder if it actually makes one more intelligent in the sense of being able to better focus, even if one feels slowed down. Perhaps I should try it again.

With regard to creative bipolars, my skeptical mind immediately jumps to the fact that most of these folks were never on mood stablizers. Would they have been as creative on these as not? Also, it's not creatively I'm worried about so much as clear thinking: I want to THINK CLEARLY. Is this something bipolars can ever expect to do? I've been October or November since I last, really, thought I was thinking lucidly.

Thanks,
a
