As stated before there has been many many highly Intelligent people that had a variety of mental illness- Van Gough cut his ear off, fairly out there!. Mozart insane, at a very young age!. And then if you look at more resent times and all the actors and various artist with eating disorders, drug addicts and depression!.
The truth is there is no type of correlation between IQ and tendency towards mental illnesses!.
The point is if 3 psychiatrists have told you that you are Borderline, then you need to stay in counseling and be the best that you can be regardless!. Mental illness is no worse or better than a physical illness- you deal with it and life goes on-IF you decide to put effort into it!.

Yes, most intelligent people in the world have lots of fun and have very high expectations because they follow the 3 steps of health!. Physical, mental, and social!. I get what you mean by crazy as in like to mess around alot, talk to people, your probably very kinesthetic, but its likely to be crazy and high iq then very silent and high iq!. The silent probably would turn suicidicial or emo because of having no fun and friends!.Get what I mean!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have a theory on this!.
Imagine a slope kind like a rainbow or something!.
I believe that our level of smartness starts at the bottom left and goes up and and as we are smarter!. The top of this slope is genius!. As the slope goes back down again on the right side that is when you get dumber and dumber!. But as you can see you could be extremely close to the top with the geniuses and still be on the right side with the disablilites!.
I don't know if that makes sense to you but that's what I think!.

I also think that we have a certain percentage of brain power and that it is distributed to different areas of the brain!. There can be a higher percentage given to one area of the brain and a lower percentage given to a different area of the brain and that's why we can function better in some areas than others!.

I know that it seems confusing but it's hard to explain through writing!. I hope you understood though!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

There have actually been several famous people who are well known for their intellectual abilities that had mental illnesses!. It's been thought that people such as Vincent Van Gogh, Abraham Lincoln, Sylvia Plath, Isaac Newton, Ernest Hemingway, and several other intelligent and creative people also suffered from mental illnesses!. I work on a psychiatric unit with teenagers and am constantly amazed by their talents - art, music, intelligence, etc!. I'm including an article that explains possibly why high IQ and mental illnesses often occur together!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ghost,Having a high IQ has nothing to do personality wise!. Have you seen the movie "Real Genius"!? This movie stars a young Val Kilmer!. It gives some proof that you can be a genius and still be alittle crazy!. So,Don't be afraid to be alittle odd now and then!. You're not sick!. There's nothing I see is wrong with you!. You seem quite normal to me!. If you start walking about your neighborhood wearing only a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers,Then I'd start to worry!. But until then,You are completely normal!. Have a goodnight and thanks for the question!. Bye for now!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have things like adhd, odd, dpd and maybe one other disablity and recently they tested me and i came out to be more creative and intellegent than anyone without any disablities!. Sometimes disabilities can act as abilities!. such as a normal kid may see an apple and think a piece of friut while an add kid may notice its color, texture, patterns and wonder about where it came from!. i hope this helps in someway
