Not sure if it's specific enough, but mental illness type problems can be cancelled out by it.
Could you elaborate? There seems to be some anecdotal evidence (and more specifically the theory of "Depressive realism" that seem to show that (misapplied) rationalism can be detrimental to ones mental health.
Keyoword: missaplied. Someone who actually read the sequences, understand them, and apply them as recommended wont misapply them.
I'm not sure if reading the sequences is sufficient to ensure correct application.
But regardless can you give an example of rationality cancelling out mental illness issues?
Edit: Apologies if doing so goes into personal information you would rather not discuss, if that is the case please consider my request withdrawn.
It sort of does, if you're really interested you can go through my posting history thou I think I posted somehting about it a while ago.
