Manic Depression

Much attention has been given to the link between manic depression and creativity. In particular, the state of mania is often said to be the most creative period for a person with manic depression. Thoughts and ideas flow rapidly, which can be wonderful for creativity.

People with manic depression are often good at taking risks with ideas. The ideas that seem crazy or unconventional to others can be the most powerful ones.

During periods of depression, contrary to popular belief, a person with manic depression can still be more creative than the average person. Therefore, it is important to continue exercising one's creativity even during these periods.
