Is there a link between genius and mental illness? | Detroit Free Press | freep.com: "But is there a proven link between creativity and mental illness (which, strictly speaking, is not the same as being mad)? This is still a matter of hot debate.
A leading researcher in this field is Kay Redfield Jamison, a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (who herself has bipolar disorder) whose studies seem to back up the popular idea of the “tortured genius.” When, for example, she examined nearly 50 writers and artists in Britain, she found that more than 38% had been treated for a mood disorder."
