Talking generally, most mental disorders when not extreme are genetic advantages in the right situations. Bipolar and creativity, asperger's and certain forms of engineering, even milder forms of ADHD with right people skills can be pretty useful for the some types of entrepreneurship.

I am quite sure there are many more forms of mental illness that have not been documented. Heck, even I have had few very strange quirks since childhood, which I have never found documented anywhere.

I agree. I was a quirky, energetic, and mischievous child. I caused trouble. I was a brat (and still am sometimes).

I'm glad to have my ADD, hyper-awareness comes in handy often. Sometimes it drives me crazy too. But I'm learning to be aware of where my mind takes me.

The journey has been tough, but I've learned a lot about myself.
