Sensing an alternate reality is not, in my view, a sign of mental illness. There are many things we don´t understand, and some are more sensitive to those other dimensions. However, having a persecution complex or looping, as Ma used to do, are signs of a disordered mind - ie a mental illness.

I once put a proposal in for a book on mental illness and surprised myself at discovering how many things are now classed within it. Paranoia, obviously, is one. Seeing insult and injury where there is none. Obsession, another. The list is enormous.

Later: detours and challenges with website, and discovering how much redrawing I will have to do for the Brick Tips poster images, so the rest of the piece on mental illness will have to appear another time.

With the 30 in one poster, I could, just about, get away with small symbolic images. To do separate postcards of each will need better drawings and more words. I already feel overwhelmed at the task. Well, sort of.

PS Saw excellent documentary on the Mumbai Terror attack, missed yesterday and caught on More4. And, just now, another excellent documentary on Red October (the true story). Fiver, if you want to watch it on demand. Much better than the rubbishy Sean Connery film.

Less impressed with the History of Christianity. Not as grabbing as I thought it would be.

Oh I forgot, Jonathan Dimbleby´s Russian travelogue (yesterday BBC3) was also definitely worth the watch. Check it out on BBC iPlayer.
