Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone here is doing 3D Math, Graphics Programming and has mental sickness like bipolar disorder and is on antipsychotics ?

I'm sure there are people who meet your criteria.

Do you have a specific question?

Yes, several.

People have other diseases and conditions, too. There are also people on the forums with assorted mental health conditions, diabetes, chronic skin conditions, head lice, blood-borne diseases, STDs, cancer, old age, young age, and even a few well-known community members with terminal illnesses.

None of that should stop you from building games if you want to.

yes, dont feel you cant make games because of being diagnosed with anything. Also, the DSM is full of nonsense.

Age isn't exactly a disease or condition, and being bipolar does affect your mood, how long you can stay motivated to work on stuff and how your interact with others. You've even said so yourself.

Age isn't exactly a disease or condition

Well, you cannot technically call it a disease, but aging is not any longer understood as the inevitable process of anything living in biology anymore.

There hasn't been any real breaktrough in slowing down or stopping aging yet, but there are many hints that there might be "a cure" to aging. As there are enough living creatures that are actually animals (as opposed to plants, who follow a much different way of aging as animals too) that do not age, as we know it.

In the end, aging could be seen as a "disease" you can cure or as an inevitable price we humans pay for being able to breathe oxygen and being able to move freely, as opposed to plants... it comes down to personal preference and further breakthroughs in the biological and medical sectors really.

IF being able to "cure aging" is a desirable goal, I am not sure. Having to wait 70-80 years until a dictator finally dies, or having an aging class of rich people amassing money and power while a big portion of the population die of starvation are bad enough as is. Having no natural end to things like that would lead to oppressive systems and civil uproars that make the european aristocacy and the french revolution look like a childs play.

But that is Sci-fi and going far OT now....

more OT, I cannot think there is NO game dev with pretty much every condition there is on earth. Sometimes you just gotta wonder how some people manage to organize themselves at work to achieve the same or better efficieny than the regular worker in their line of work despite having severe penalties because of their disabilities.

I guess what the OP wanted to know is "How to you stay motivated? How do you organize yourself? How are you treated by the industry?"... especially the last question is pretty interesting, seeing that the game dev industry has a pretty bad rep, especially when it comes to hire and fire or ageisms...

Why do you want to know?
