Anecdotal, but some of the greatest leaders in history have suffered from "mental disorders", depression the most prominent among them. [And some psychologists have argued that some "mental disorders" actually produce those qualities we seek in leaders.] (http://www.amazon.com/First-Rate-Madness-Uncovering-Between-Leadership/dp/1594202958)
And that's not to mention all of the severely depressed, severely mentally ill artists, writers, poets, and musicians who have shaped human culture.
And I certainly won't consider what would happen to society if everyone were docile and generally content with their lot in life, regardless of circumstances. Although I believe Aldous Huxley did consider it.
Heh. You might like my review of A First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness [http://www.amazon.com/exec/.obidos.ASIN/1594202958/ossnet-20].

Has anyone read A First-Rate Madness? I have it, but have been procrastinating. I think it might be somewhat relevant, but can not confirm.
JFK certainly had legitimate reasons but so do millions of other Americans who have become addicted to drugs they were given by doctors. Kennedy was just unfortunate enough to wind up in the path of a dangerous quack in the form of our dear Dr. Feelgood. With regards to Vienna, my understanding is that he was suffering to a sexually transmitted infection. He had issues with infections leaving him debilitated all his life due to his chronic conditions and took amphetamine cocktails to make himself able to function. He was also on antipsychotics due to the side effects of Jacobson's quack injections but also the hormone treatment he required to stay alive. Those around him also noted that his behavior changed once he was no longer receiving regular injections of amphetamines and cocaine.
