			<description><![CDATA[<img title="" alt="" src="http://talentdevelop.com/images/KRJamison2.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="103" hspace="11" vspace="5" width="92"/>Depression
can be a profoundly damaging and disrupting condition, spiritually and
psychologically corrosive, preventing us from living fully and
realizing our talents. But a number of people also say the experience
has had real value for them. 

      

      Psychiatrist Kay Redfield Jamison first planned her own
suicide at 17,
and attempted to carry it out at 28. Referring
to her bipolar disorder,

			<description><![CDATA[Shyness, social anxiety, social phobia, introversion - one of the problems in using these labels about ourselves is they are often too unspecific and relative: shy compared with whom? How anxious, for how long, in what situations?

			<description><![CDATA[<img title="" alt="" src="http://talentdevelop.com/images/cdanes3.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="91" hspace="11" vspace="5" width="82"/>"My therapist gives me
permission to accept that I'm human."

      

      Actor Claire Danes also explained, "I
finally realized after years of therapy.. that you can encourage

counselor or therapist can help us do it more fully and effectively. <br/> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Many
creative people actively pursue fame, or at least endure it, as a
way to advance their careers. But fame may also be driven by hidden

			<description><![CDATA[Arianna Huffington is described by her
friend and author Sugar Rautbord<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span>as
&#8220;probably one of the most intellectually seductive human beings on the
face of the planet. She has such a powerful brain, and she exudes an

particularly for women? <br/> ]]></description>
