To smell farts requires a professional farter. They are not mentally ill, just...uh..different in their choice of professions. The Lume commercials confirm the opportunities are still out there.

They seem to think that it's the mental issues that cause the gas. But it's the other way around! If you're suffering from pain and embarrassment and bad breath, of course you will feel anxious and depressed.
