Borderlines may or may not be intelligent...but I am aware that bipolars (above any other mental illness) are regarded to have higher creativity levels than the norm, as documented in psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison's book, "Touched With Fire", or Patty Duke's book, " A Brilliant Madness". This is evident in my family, as my mother ( BP) is a succesful developer, my brother (BP) is a musician, my sister (BP and OCD) is an artist, and I ( BP and OCD with severe psychosis in the BP) am a writer.
