My next post is an open thread, meaning I will start a discussion, and my readers are encouraged to respond with their opinion on the issue.
My focus for the thread is the "Beautifully Mad". There are many iconic figures throughout history and present day who have suffered from mental illness. I would like to ask my readers to follow up by commenting with the following information;
1. Who do you believe is the most influential US icon from past and present who has suffered/is currently suffering from mental illness.
2. What their mental illness is.
3. What they have done to make them most influential in your eyes.
4. Whether or not you believe their mental illness had anything to do with what they accomplished.
This is a friendly, open debate. All inputs are welcome and creativity is encouraged!
