I think that she meant “compared to autism, bipolar disorder…”. Of
course it is not benign, but it should be curable in most cases as far
as I know.

Please, could you try avoiding flaming this thread? I did not know
Aaron personally, but I am pretty sure he would not approve this. I
understand that you can feel offended, especially if you have had to
dealt with depression yourself or with relatives or friends, but
please let's try to be civil at least in this thread.

Thank you, all.
