I love this, well said<p>I knew a bipolar patient who believed he was a shaman. In his last manic episode he was found wandering outside naked in minus twenty temperatures. He said he had transcended to a higher consciousness where the cold no longer affected him.<p>I interviewed him a few months later to see if he was taking his medicine. He was, but said he didn&#x27;t like the medicines because they took away his special powers.<p>He had frost bite on his hands and feet from the incident by the way.
