Are those who have a mental illness more intuitive?

Most individuals who have a mental illness have experienced trauma throughout childhood or adolescence leaving the individual hypervigilant.

I sometimes wonder if some people who have experienced trauma notice small signs including usually unnoticeable facial expressions or body language that others who are less vigilant don’t notice… I feel that people who have a mental illness are almost ‘more than’ than ‘less than’ as they can notice small traits in others that non mentally ill people don’t.

  1. More “hyper vigilant”?? There might be a survival necessetity behind such a trait, if it’s generally true. I’ve heard that children in violent, abusive households are generally more hyper-vigilant for sheer survival and to know when to avoid an escalating violent episode.
