You know, I used to think that I was particularly clear-headed and brilliant when I was depressed and restricting, but then when I got more stabilized on meds and had some weight restoration going on, I found that I had been kidding myself. I had certainly had a fair few good thoughts, and I had more or less been able to express them, but in terms of functional intelligence -- I've got to say that I've got more of it now and I am much less depressed too.

I'd say that's a win-win proposition, wouldn't you?
