He talked about what I have! (OCD, ADHD, social phobia!) I feel like a celebrity!
(Tbr though, I like this book so far. Smoller has a very clear thesis for this book: defining biological normality. He is very efficient in exploring this concept. He somehow manages to explore how different conditions are comprehendible within the spectrum of human biology while also not diminishing the struggles associated with them.

The intro of this book is promising! This is going to be a long read (almost 700 pages of science writing), but I'm excited to dive in. I like the author's narrative voice, and his interdisciplinary lens seems great for exploring such an expansive scientific concept.
