Nope. I have had bouts of what might be called depression, but nothing I have ever seen a doctor for, nad certainly nothing debilitating. I occasionally have some symptoms of ADD, but I think that's mostly a result of high blood sugar levels and a naturally short attention span. ;-)

I couldn't agree more with all of that, except for the sounding crazy part. Not to say that I don't believe that mental illnesses exist, but rather that even those without them will still have smaller experiences which might resemble short episodes in the life of someone with the full blown illness. That's just life.
