I can't speak for all fields of medicine, but from what I have seen, the very best scientists are the sick patients that doctors can't seem to get well. Many of them, through tireless trials and errors thinking outside the box in pure survival mode with their lives on the line, they are the ones that find stuff that works. Maybe they can't explain why something works, but neither can scientists. Also, as long as scientists continue to view the entire psychiatric spectrum as a monoamine issue, there are going to be holes in it.

I do not believe one must be healthy to be a good scientist.. Actually, the sick person probably makes a better one, because they have a real stake in the game that goes beyond mere curiosity.
