The more science finds out about "mental disorders" the more interesting it's getting. I read awhile back that, "Some people are (mentally impaired) all of the day; All of the people are (mentally impaired) some of the day." :) The so-called "normal" doesn't exist, in my opinion.
The newer biographies of famous people routinely say something like, "he suffered from depression", or she, "self-medicated with alcohol", or she, "took to her bed for the next 3 weeks".
There are some folks who don't seem to have a nerve in their body, but when you read their biographies you find something else that's just as "different", whatever "it" is.
