creativity and madness
11 Jul 2005Its been well known throughout history that creative people tend to be, well, nuts, or at least it has always seemed there is a much greater incidence of nuthood amongst artists and other creatives than in the general population. There’s a good book called Touched with Fire that explores this very link.
Now Psychiatric Times confirms it with actual scientific research{.broken_link}: creative people are indeed nuts, but mostly only a little nuts.
