“Neurology and psychiatry should be treating the same organ.” — Alice Weaver Flaherty Quote

Neurology and psychiatry should be treating the same organ.

It's no fun feeling your thoughts are being controlled by an electrode, and someone else is holding the clicker.

The mania is like wasps under the skin, like my head's going to explode with ideas.

What made me empathic was my depressions.

How could poetry and literature have arisen from something as plebian as the cuneiform equivalent of grocery-store bar codes? I prefer the version in which Prometheus brought writing to man from the gods. But then I remind myself that…we should not be too fastidious about where great ideas come from.

The pancreas is by far the most complex organ in the body.

I tend to think of the organ as part of the rhythm section, rather than a frontline voice.

I used to think God only liked organ music.
