  13. HyperrealLogic 14:23, 4 October 2017 (UTC): I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder--depressive type--in 2007. It does not appear to run in my family, but I'm sure there were some genetic events that played a significant role in my susceptibility to it. I, too, mostly have it under control.[reply ]

A thought from one of us

[edit ]

I have often asked myself whether, given the choice, I would chose to have manic-depressive illness. ... Strangely enough, I think I would chose to have it. It's complicated. Depression is awful beyond words or sounds or images ... So why would I want anything to do with this illness? Because I honestly believe that as a result of it I have felt more things, more deeply; had more experiences, more intensely; ... worn death 'as close as dungarees', appreciated it - and life - more; seen the finest and most terrible in people ... But, normal or manic, I have run faster, thought faster, and loved faster than most I know. And I think much of this is related to my illness - the intensity it gives to things
