I often find myself wondering about the relationship between what we have and seizure disorders and autism and unusual artistic and scientific abilities some people have. I have not said this here before, but it is in my book. Truhtfully, in my opinion, psychiatry, psychology, neurology, and neurosurgery? They are all the same specialty. They just haven't quite realized it yet...

I am certain, bpcyclist, that your book is highly interesting and thought-provoking!
You know, it used to be the case that many psychiatrists were also neurologists. My father-in-law (from modern day Czech Republic) was a common example of this. He was from a very different era. He would be 115 years old now. [He passed away before I came into the picture.] My husband is 13 years older than me, and his father was 54 when he was born. The country was Austria-Hungary when he was in med school. It is a bit of a shame, in various ways, that there is now such a specialization tendency that many doctors can't always see the big picture of things. Though I know that younger psychiatrists offer a special perspective on their cases, I am happy that my long-time psychiatrist is older at 73. He's not also a neurologist, but he has offered me a lot that many younger docs likely do not. Some day I'll obviously have a younger doc, but at least I know now what I know.
It sure would be nice for more research to be done on the relationship between bipolar and seizures. That seems to all be related to money, as well.
