12. "Your success is due to your sickness."

Well, I guess it's possible. I've heard of many artists producing great work in the throes of a mood disorder.

But I think you're just one smart guy. In my expert opinion, you having acquired a Ph.D is not symptom of your illness, but I can see how the skills you learned getting it could make you more resistant to treatment. What if you are smarter and/or better educated than your therapist? I can see how that might get in the way of successful treatment.
