Supplements to increase mental capacity - Reposted*

Here is something I posted on the Dr. Bob board:

Before reading this article, I had always thought to myself that the
difference between the bipolar/schizophrenic and the genius, is that
the genius can handle all the stimuli, information etc.

They can process, store, create, combine etc. whereas a less able
mind, as the researcher puts it, cannot handle it, and mental illness
may result.

This theory seems to be pretty prevalent because it came up again in
this book I was reading: The Origins of Genius: A Darwinian
Perspective

I would be very interested in researchers' attempts to create a
unified theory on the relationship of genius and severe
psychopathology.

This is a very personal issue to me. Larry, Ron, anyone have anything
else on this?

Are there supplements that can increase the brain's capacity to deal
with all the incoming stimuli - to process, organize, and combine the
information into ordered rational thought patterns.
