Interesting article

Before reading this article, I had always thought to myself that the difference between the bipolar/schizophrenic and the genius, is that the genius can handle all the stimuli, information etc.
They can process, store, create, combine etc. whereas a less able mind, as the researcher puts it, cannot handle it, and mental illness may result.

This theory seems to be pretty prevalent because it came up again in this book I was reading: The Origins of Genius: A Darwinian Perspective
I would be very interested in researchers' attempts to create a unified theory on the relationship of genius and severe psychopathology.
This is a very personal issue to me. Larry, Ron, anyone have anything else on this?
