>The mentally ill are a very special group in history who have accomplished GREAT things!!!!! The following were bipolar: Abraham Lincoln, Charles Dickins, Patty Duke, Vincent Van Gogh, Nepolean, that guy who wrote Moby Dick...whose name i can't think of at the moment for some reason but he was a severe alcoholic too, Robert Schuman (sp?), and a whole lot of other composers, writers, leaders, artists, musicians, sculpters, etc.<
