Anyone catch (or catching) 20/20 show tonight called "My Extreme Affliction?" It's about children with Mental Illness (OCD, Schizophrenia, etc). Really amazing what some of these families are going through! These kids withOCD know their fears are irrational, but there is something in their brains not working correctly. The good news is, medical research is making great strides in identifying the causes in the brain for some of these illnesses.
 
And did you see the piece on the high schooler who invented a way to cause fusion? His brain is in overdrive all the time. Like uni-polar on the manic side. He teaches some sort of advanced physics at the local college but hasn't graduated HS yet.

I was in & out of the 20/20 show. We can hope that with better understanding of what is going on in their brains will come medical help beyond drugging.
