Is that a difference of kind or of degree? Take away my depression/anxiety and I would be quite different and act quite differently, if not to the same degree you're describing. Many things driven by my anxiety have been good for my career in some ways; many other things driven by it have been bad for my career; all I can say for sure is that without it I'd be in a VERY different place.

How would we separate various mental differences into "disorder" vs "diversity"?
