Description
Creativity and Mental Illness challenges conventional wisdom about the relationship between creativity and mental illness. This book re-examines the common view that high levels of individual creativity are linked to an increased risk of mental health issues, arguing instead that the two traits are not associated.
With contributions from experts in psychology, neuroscience, physics, psychiatry, and management, this dynamic volume offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating topic. By exploring the latest research and scholarship, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between creativity, mental health, and well-being.
