In Kay's book, Touched with Fire, she claims that no one who has been diagnosed schizophrenic is creative. Being a schizophrenic writer, I take offense in the largest possible way to this statement. I don't care if she is bipolar, you never insult an entire group of people like that. I think that being bipolar got to her head and she suddenly feels superior to me and the 1% of the American population who are combating a psychotic disorder. I have nothing against anyone with bipolar disorder and I don't mean to offend anyone struggling with it. My own father is one. But I have a problem with manic depressive "b's" thinking that they are so much better because their illness comes in episodes.

I just needed to vent.

P.S: Does anyone have her contact info?
