I know some left handed people who have a remarkably similar personality to mine.
I have heard sterotypes about left handers that I seem to fit me. iemessy, somewhat creative, antisocial, prone to using drugs to escape, strange sense of humour, etc.
(I know, I don't know how much credability those studies have)
I have wondered if brain organization differences might account for either mood disorders, or varying responces to drugs. Left handers are susposedly overrepresented in the epileptic population for instance.
For those left handers who have differential distrbution of language, I wonder if emotion is regulated in different parts of the brain too.
Don't know where I am going with this thread, I guess I was just wondering if there was any credability to theories of lefthandedness and mental illness, personality disorders, alchoholism etc.
I wonder, for instance, if there would be any difference in responce to drugs between right and left handers, as there seems to be between men and women?
