Is an intelligent human being likely to be much more than a large-scale manufacturer of misunderstanding?
A fun little study from 2008 looked at rates of self-reported mental illness in mental health professionals. (…) The presence of Axis I traits (i.e. mental illness) was reported by 81.2%, the three most frequent traits being mood, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorder. Axis II traits (personality disorders) were reported by 73.4% of subjects, the three most frequent conditions being narcissistic, avoidant, and obsessive-compulsive personality traits.
