Fascinating.
I am not bipolar but I see it mentions in passing that something like this has long been known about people with ADD/ADHD. I don't recall hearing that, or if I did I've forgotten.
ADD/Inattentive is me and *this* is me. Years ago, I had to concentrate till smoke came from my ears trying to pass a sobriety test when stone cold sober and everyone, all my life, has hated walking abreast of me on a sidewalk (e.g., "what are you doing? quit pushing me off the sidewalk!") I couldn't help it - it just happens. Walking relaxed and straight as others do seems both impossible and almost...unnatural. It is no drunken stagger, but if you pay attention it is quite obvious to me and others.
These connections might lead to breakthroughs for MI sufferers. I have to hope so.
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
Meds: Strattera 80 mg q day
