Thanks for sharing the article, Mollie, I found it interesting. I think I'm like Eliza, my challenge is more often "what am I feeling?"
But the following part of the article I find annoying... why... I'm trying to figure out what bothers me about it:
"When Wynn evaluated gender recognition abilities, he found again that both bipolar and schizophrenic patients had problems recognizing facial gender. These results were similar for both the bipolar patients who were taking medication and those who were not."
Maybe bp people are smarter? Why such focus on gender? People's looks vary so much... I felt like this would be a useless part of a study I guess. Men and women can look very much alike, take away facial hair, etc. Or is this supposed to be an indicator of me having dysfunctional or slow thinking related to my bipolar dx? Nope, I'm not gonna buy that, we're just smarter or less likely to judge people by gender, or what gender they look more like.
