Nah, they're the same defect!
Shaman are consider to display psychotic behavior or act in ways considered to be the same as someone diagnosed as having a psychosis.
This is when they are in their "other state", dreamtime, trance or
whathave ye.
So bob, you've looked at the mind from both sites now, from up & down
& still somehow, they're cloudy dreams you can't recall?
SHANTI

Who sang that song...Its a thin line between love and hate, think it was the Pretenders 
So if thats an extreme of opposites then maybe nut cases can be genius (can i put an s at the end to make that plural?)

pedro27: There is a cited link between creativity of genius and genetic mutations linked to psychosis.
Oh yes, plenty has been published about that.
I am a left-handed artistic creative who has an IQ in the top 2% and is as mad as March hare, in the estimation of many people.
With the exception of obvious mental illness such as psychosis, I believe that the difference between sanity and insanity is a matter of perception on the part of the viewer.
There is a median line in terms of perceptions of reality. The further that an individual departs from that median line, the more likely that someone who is sitting comfortably on that median line will perceive that person to be insane.
I believe that true genius requires a degree of insanity, because from that comes the creative spark . . . the idea that leads to a breakthrough, or changes a paradigm.
Who is to say that the Hannibal Lecters of this world are not on to something?
Throughout history, great thinkers have often been thought to be mad because those around them could not understand them.

Yes. I think that persons with an strong internal conflict need to expulse and express it.
So, they can be great artists

I find it ironic that some people with severe mental handicaps can write great music, do awesome art, or be very loving, compared to the rest of the population.

They both break the mould, something they have in common.
But no, there's a giant gaping gulf between madness and genius - we'll call this gulf talent - which is why genii are rare and loons are ten-a-penny.

Yes,there's a "fin-line"between madness and genious.
Genius is the one who can focus on one thing at the time,n the mad person can NOT do the same..Madness n its "products" got only chance eventually to end up in mental asylum,but the genius's product can go towards improvement of humane race .
I'm an inventor,therefore,I'm a genius.I speaking from genius point of view,not the other way around.
