I have more than one friend or loved one with a serious psychiatric diagnosis. They, and some other pretty smart folks I know, have sometimes remarked that they might have been perfectly happy, or at least accepted rather than stigmatized by their neighbors if only they had been born as hunter-gatherers or nomadic pastoralists where they could be shamans or something.
Anyway, I'm rooting for you bro.
