Usually people that have mental problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are very smart. My boyfriend Danny has a high IQ. He has a heightened sense of awareness and reads all the time. He really hates authority. He could never understand why people can be such assholes. He had a nervous breakdown in University because some asshole was teasing a girl with weight problems. They had to hospitalize him because his mind literally snapped. All it took was a taunting moo moo noise to make the electrical impulses in his mind explode. He actually heard a snap. They said it was because he had so much pent up aggression over the years, that it all came out involuntarily at once. They had to teach him how to read and write all over again. I know several people with mental problems and they're all really intelligent. Maybe they're just more aware of the problems of the world then others. Maybe they're the sane ones and the world just brings out their negative emotions, making them look crazy. People with genius IQ's are tortured. Some of them become serial killers like in the movie American Psycho. Admit it. This world is pretty fucked up. And anyone seen as not conforming to normal standards of living, is automatically dubbed insane. They are also locked away for not meeting those standards. What if being Bipolar is just being passionate and highly emotional? What if it's a heightened awareness or higher level of consciousness. It's been proven that different people have different brains. It's also been proven that the FDA makes up fake illnesses and then gives fake pills because they make money from sick people. Like everyone knows by now that ADD was made up. It's just pent up energy that needs to be burned off. There's so many stupid rules and regulations, that it's probably driving people crazy...so to speak! When you have any intelligence in your head at all, it's pretty hard to hold down a boring job and go by the book.
