To return to the TOPIC, it was about whether being mentally ill can make it any harder - or even impossible - to read. Just as my one legged son in law can't climb stairs without a stick, kind of thing. Not whether it should be allowed (he can try if he likes) but whether it can be done, or whether it can be done as effectively.These are interesting questions.
Overall, I think the "mentally ill" should be able to do anything any person who does not suffer from mental illness is able to do. That's the point, anything less would be discrimination. Actually, I think if someone is actively psychotic, that can hurt their intuition more than if not. They might say things out of pure excitement than truth. As for hallucinations, I'm a bit skeptical to say that people who have them are not psychotic or on substances... at least on my side of the world.

If all the head shrinks were around in the days of the holy books constructions then all the past greats would be on medications...
All are OFF somehow...
Except Nisaba...Naturally...
I think it's nice that mental illness gives some people more facility to create and be intuitive, but I think a lot of those people's lives could have been longer had meds been around.
