OK - thanks for clarifying that. She certainly
writes well and has contributed greatly to the field with her research and collaboration with other psychiatrists.There are some depressions, which if mild would
probably not interfere with medical work; but there are others, which may actually lead to crime-- for example Dr. Shipfield in the UK? [i think that was his name]. Also, mental illness is insidious-- you can go on for years being eccentric and then at some time in your life do really things out of control; and there are also waves of madness during a lifetime. So, yeah, it would be risky.As Dr. Torrey said, much of the problem of people who do things they would not otherwise do, and are under the influence of biological brain disturbance, is that they are not always aware.
