Sigmund Freud, Napoleon, and Edgar Allen Poe . . . physician, general, and author.

Poets, musicians, actors, artists, athletes, and financiers . . . Ted Turner, Liz Taylor, and Charley Pride.

Famous people, intelligent, successful. All with a mental illness. Their achievements give hope to others. Work hard and remain positive.
