as far as i know, (which isnt much i am not that familiar with psychotic disorders,) i am aware that sometimes psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia can have cognitive symptoms, some find it hard to function and take in information. im not genius on the subject, but i think some forms of psychotic disorder affect ability to learn.

also, i know personally my IQ is 120. which is quite good. i have been told and am not aware of how much truth is in this, that george bush's IQ is in the range of about 86. (worrying much.) i think that your IQ is not something you should worry too greatly about.

i think you write incredibly fluently and adeptly, so there is no need to put yourself down on the subject. i believe instead you should allow yourself to believe something is good enough. my mom always has to get the best, and my dad can deal with things that are good enough. i believe on the whole, my dad is less stressed by what he does and his achievements. and stress is never good for psychotic illnesses.

maybe you should loosen up on yourself? you sound incredibly intelligent.
