+, This question may be controversial to ask, but do you think Virginia, from the (I think) fourth account, was of an entirely sound mind? Schizophrenic-presenting symptoms aside, we hear that doctors repeatedly used shock therapy on her.
+. One thing that stood out to me in the third reading was a quote from a suicidal patient who described her depression as 'existing in a "flat land," stationary in a changeless plane.' That is an incredibly apt description, in my opinion. Do you think those with mental illnesses––like the people whose writings we have read thus far––are sometimes better able to capture certain realities of life than neurotypical people? It is a vast generalization, but I know we have correlational data claiming that mentally ill people also tend to score higher on IQ/reasoning tests.
