Sanity and Hyper-Sanity

Neel Burton describes the "hyper-sane" who are aware of new opportunities .

Both psychosis and hypersanity place us outside society, making us seem ‘mad’ to the mainstream. Both states attract a heady mixture of fear and fascination. But whereas mental disorder is distressing and disabling, hypersanity is liberating and empowering (Burton, 2019, para. 7).
