This is absolutely fascinating. I’ve always love writing since I was a child and would come up with stories and write write write. I’ve finished three main fiction books and have many many drafts of unfinished stories. Drawing and painting is another pass-time for me. The depression to mania ratio really grabbed my attention because though I have more creative stamina when I’m manic, I find that there’s more depth to my creativity when I’m depressed. My emotions are deeper and my fiction hold more richness when I’m depressed. Unfortunately, I rarely have the energy to do anything creative when I’m depressed. Mania gives me vivid dreams, some of which I’ve written into short stories. I actually woke up and wrote out one a few minutes ago!

I haven't been able to stop writing poetry since I was 12 (about 11 years now). Lines and titles and sometimes even whole poems pop into my head and I have to write them down. I also write nonfiction essays. I was diagnosed with bipolar II earlier this year and my writing is why I want to be moderately medicated and not zombified. Nice talk, but whatever you do..

"..people with major depressive disorders, they're pretty good at not liking stuff." This cracked me up as a Bipolar II and MDD person

Had to watch it twice because it was very dull and hard to pay attention the first time. But I’m not hear to bash the man. Hes obviously better at the research part rather than explaining it to an audience. This video was helpful though. I am starting to find out I very well may be Bipolar and this showed me a lot. The disorder has potentially made me more intuitive, open minded, and slightly more depressed than normal as well. But the main thing is that medication meant to stabilize a mood may not effect the creativity levels of the brain. Thanks

I'm bipolar 2, and while I respect anyone researching the topic, I have to say that the low amount of data is disappointing. my takeaway from this was simply the following... SUMMARY: There are some people who are 'creative types' and share certain characteristics. Some people with bipolar are also creative types, perhaps moreso than average, though this is based on scant research.

I have been hospitalised, in therapy and clinically diagnosed -‘multiple times by different psychiatrists, psycho diagnostics, psychiatry ward-with schizoaffective bipolar disorder. My talent for drawing and ability to imagine has been the wildcard for surviving, thriving but mostly, suffering as well because of it. The majority of daily life is withdrawn, lonely as I don’t connect well with most people. Because of the mood disorder, I also have fluctuations in being capable to express my ideas into physical work. I used to draw from morning to evening everyday… The older I get, the more difficult it is. I am happy if I get 3-4 full days of creative explosion in 😔 luckily my ideas are still sharp and acknowledged in the professional artistic world but I fear for the future - if the decline remains. I hold on to it with dear heart.

However it takes time for some drugs to land often times longer than what it says on the carton. hope this may help you, best wishes

I'm bipolar and I don't get what he's tryna say cause its like he already said it and he's just repeating the same thing almost.

Interesting talk but he was completely wrong about the paintings hanging in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Museums show good works of art and at times superior works of art but not all hanging works are noteworthy. Museums display works very often that are contemporary and current to show what the art scene is like at the current time. In a museum, not all painting are equal; there are better paintings than other paintings. In fact, since museums exist on donations, there are very often complaints that what is shown is "corporate art." That is art that is more or less sanctioned by the corporate benefactors. For instance, the art news reported some years back that a painting hanging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC (Met Museum), which wasn't a very good work, was there because a multi-million dollar donation was made and a requirement for the donation was that this painting be hung in the museum. By having a painting hang in such a museum, the artist can claim whatever and raise the price of his works. Not saying that great and superior works are in the museums but they are not the be all and the end all of creative epitome.

It seems like some bipolar people are meant to be artists but choose the wrong vocation and if they went the right way, they might be a healthy control. Also, the negative feeling may be important because it motivates one to change something, make it better through creativity. The positive and openness in thinking is needed to create something new and it needs to be intuitive otherwise it’s plain old regurgitation of thoughts which by definition is not creative. There must be a dissatisfaction in what is and an ability to make something new. This also takes sensitivity of perception and acting spontaneously without complacency. From my investigation there is reduced latent inhibition as increased exploration which may seem irrelevant and useless bit accumulates subconsciously as a creative repertoire to draw from.

Does medication stop the creative juices?

Yes and it becomes diagnosable as a disorder when it starts destroying your life, especially during mania when one cannot control his/her thoughts or actions. It's not just having intense and varied emotions. I've been stable on lithium for 8 years straight and I have my life back. Dealing with constant fatigue (main side effect) is a daily battle but more than worth it.

Thankfully, I managed to get only dysthymia diagnosis. Clever me. Happy with the outcome overall.

If mentally ill people are creative, why not test schizophrenics who would likely have thoughts beyond all the others. Also mixing depression with bipolar on the graphs makes it look like 100 percent of poets are bipolar, when actually less than ten percent are and the rest just have ordinary depression. Separate these out if the talk is only about bipolar people. Creativity is not well defined although you tried to do it. I know lots of creative people and artists and almost none ever get any recognition, so are they creative or just playing around with paint. A picture in MOMA may not be creative at all. It's just that the board of directors may like it and it may be a trendy artist. Warhol was trendy although not very creative and not the first pop artist. This board, deciding on art like Warhol, may be business people; not even other artist???
