Mental illness is usually described as a flaw, but psychology and neuroscience tell a more uncomfortable truth.

Many conditions labeled as disorders are actually extreme expressions of cognitive traits that once kept humans alive - traits that still generate creativity, vigilance, precision, and innovation today.
