I have type I bipolar disorder, and enjoyed this thought experiment quite a bit. (Note: I am 60 years old, and thanks to Seroquel haven't had a full-blown psychotic episode in over a decade. I've also done DBT. I actually turned down ECT, and from what you have to say I'm glad I did.)

Upon reading your comments, I thought you might like the existential question I live with: If I am not my mind, what am I?

Also, I do not and would not lie to my psychiatrist. That would be counterproductive, and a waste of time and resources.
