"What sort of patient has a disease..."

This is an affecting, and effective, post by someone who was responding to the "I am Adam Lanza's mother" article by detailing his own struggles with mental health. I appreciate when he says he has a "disorder" but I prefer to focus on his obvious strength. To follow the dictum of the physician William Osler:
It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has. 
This author seems okay.
