What did you invent or did something useful?
Hypomania can inspire ingenuity, but it isn’t sustainable. At least it doesn’t seem to be.
I feel a hard cardio session can imitate that to some extent. Just a theory.
@aziz I am referring to the ‘‘energy’’ used in the organ the brain is on par with special moments of a genius coming up with new break throughs for humanity …yes a psychotic episode energy wise matches it…the whole brain is used
How do you know this lol?
Scientists can’t even know it yet…
It’s my theory ive been studying since 2000
What and where did you study?
i studied books before the internet…i studied myself and others…than i came up with the special theory
my findings are based on my experince and my overall view, I know I have solid point and view
Mental illness is not always a bad thing, some use it for productive purposes. For example Edison the great inventor had sleepless nights to invent bulbs and other things. He can be in a manic or hypomanic state as in these the individual need less sleep with lots of interest and energy. Sadly majority of people who have mental issues use it in the negative way.

I disagree. The negative symptoms are awful. And very disabling. And the best thing I’ve gained out of Sz is humility.
Unfortunately it took a lot of reality checks for me to understand it’s a disability for me. That said if you have hard work and a passion you can work towards a goal and succeed with the right treatment and attitude. John Nash seems like an anomaly. I dunno what was up with John Nash. I consider it really hard to function in comparison to my peers Who don’t have psychosis.
plus the sz souls who changed the world that was never recorded in history

May 24, 2002 – From Vincent Van Gogh to Sylvia Plath, the path from mental illness to creative genius has been well traveled by many artists and writers. Now, researchers say they are gaining new clues about the mysterious link between highly creative individuals and mental disorders, such as manic depression.
A new study shows that healthy artists are more similar in personality to people with manic depression than other healthy people in the population. Researchers presented the findings this week at the American Psychiatric Association Meeting in Philadelphia.
The National Institute on Mental Health estimates that manic depression, also called bipolar disorder, affects about 2 million Americans. The brain disorder is characterized by unusual and often dramatic shifts in a person’s energy level and mood far different than the typical “ups and downs.” Manic depression causes striking mood swings – from overly “high” to sad and hopeless, and then back again, often with periods of normal mood in between. Major changes in behavior and energy go along with these changes in mood. The periods of highs and lows are called episodes of mania and depression.
“My hunch is that emotional range, having an emotional broadband, is the bipolar patient’s advantage,” says study author Connie Strong, a doctoral candidate at Stanford University, in a news release. “It isn’t the only thing going on, but something gives people with manic depression an edge, and I think it’s emotional range.”
Researchers say the study is unique because it compared both healthy, creative people to similarly matched people from the general population, as well as to individuals diagnosed with a mental illness.
Using standard personality, temperament, and creativity tests, researchers analyzed four different groups: 47 healthy individuals, 48 patients with successfully treated bipolar disorder, 25 patients successfully treated for depression, and 32 healthy graduate students enrolled in creative programs such as product design, creative writing, and fine arts.
The study found people in the creative group and recovered manic depressives were more open and likely to be moody and neurotic than other healthy individuals. Researchers say these traits are part of a group of characteristics known as “negative-affective traits” that also include mild forms of depression and bipolar disorder that do not necessarily require treatment. -->
the link in the brain for a genius is ‘‘similar’’ to the link in the brain for a sz, ‘‘only’’ in a psychotic episode though ‘‘my theory’’

Maybe but genius is way more controlled and less damaging
some autistic people have great photographic like memory.
ok even lets say the same part of the brain of genius’s with wild ideas are similar pathways or even on par with a sz/sza in a psychotic…i like 2 think i am right …time will tell
