In a panel event titled “Madness Redefined” at the 2012 World Science Festival, the depression expert and author Kay Redfield Jamison, the psychiatric and legal expert Elyn Saks, and I talked about why so many people with bipolar disorder display such bursts of creativity, and how they are overrepresented in the arts, music, theater, and sciences.
During the hypomanic stage, monoamine transmission increases, and these neurotransmitters put you in a positive mood, so you want to create something, and they can also boost connectivity between different areas of the cortex, allowing for novel associations. The creative impulse is one reason mental illness can sometimes be viewed as a blessing, especially in cases of mild bipolar disorder like mine, in which one benefits from the joys of hypomania without the devastation of full-on mania or depression.

ولو هي المعلومة غلط...
بس "rule of thumb" علساس بالأصل جاية من قانون إنكليزي يتيح للزوج أن يضرب زوجته بعصا ميهم شكد طولها، بس سمكها لازم ميكون اكثر من سمك الإبهام 🤦‍♂

Healing,
Papa would tell me,
is not a science,
but the intuitive art
