I've only had a couple of depressive episodes in my life but yes I would gladly accept a cure which meant I would certainly never go there again. Tbh I am afraid another time and I might not come out the other side.

The only positive I can see it that maybe it has made me more aware of the suffering of others and so more compassionate but perhaps I would have been like that anyway who knows.

I saw the Chris Packham documentary, it was interesting but is aspergers a MI or just a different neural way of being? I can certainly understand him being happy with the positive side of his AS traits.
