Someone I know had this problem all his life. He finally went for help recently and was medicated. Well, he says it is wonderful to feel normal. He didn't know what normal was before. He no longer has the anger or violence and is happy and with much peace. His creativity has not diminished, in fact it increased because he can focus better. I guess it depends on the person, as to what path is to be taken. But I would add that if someone feels a desire to take their life, it may be important to find help before one no longer has the ability to make that judgement, that would definitely end the "Gift".
