Noted programmer/consultant Michael Crawford posted Part 1 of Living with Schizoaffective Disorder. It’s a long detailed article, and worth reading. Thanks, Michael!

For my part, I’ve never had to contend with anything more severe than slight depression and/or programmer’s block; having a borderline case of the Geek Syndrome led to a difficult childhood but a great profession. However, I’ve helped friends with severe depression. This sort of article is badly needed to help people cope with brain chemistry-related disorders, which seem to be on the increase worldwide.
