Even after being around this place for years, it still surprises me every time I find out that yet another regular here suffers from depression, ADD or other ... well, I don't really want to say "mental illness", which gives the impression I think Rinkworks is a vast collection of the deranged and socially unacceptable*, but since that's what those things are, I'll just say it and leave the connotations up to the reader. I have no idea what percentage of the general population suffers from a mental or emotional disorder, so I'm curious whether the Rinkworks community reflects the general population or not.

I was originally going to ask how many people here fall into that category, or have in the past, but the more I think about it, it seems like it's almost the *norm* at Rinkworks. Really, is it that prevalent? Am I the only person here who hasn't ever had such a problem?

*Of course, I *do* think Rinkworks is a vast collection of the deranged and socially unacceptable, but not for medical reasons.
