The Hidden Superpowers of Every Mental Disorder
Published 23 hours ago
Description
Mental illness is usually described as a flaw, but psychology and neuroscience tell a more uncomfortable truth.
Many conditions labeled as disorders are actually extreme expressions of cognitive traits that once kept humans alive - traits that still generate creativity, vigilance, precision, and innovation today.
In this video, we explore the hidden cognitive advantages behind bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, OCD, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and more without romanticizing the suffering, but without ignoring the biological reality either.
