Reply #102: There is a HUGE connection between bipolar disorder and creative types.

As her doctor went over what they know about the part of the brain
that is undergoing seizure in BPD, it is the VERY same part of the brain
that they have also mapped creative spikes and activities.

I guess it is a double edged sword, creativity of that magnitude.
Obviously, it can turn on the person who has it.

Looking back on people I now suspect were also bipolar, as in brilliant
in area of creativity, I KNOW I witnessed great jealously and dismissal
of the individual.

People who are not as gifted, yet wish to be, feel better
when they can say, "Yeah, he/she is a great artist, but boy, are they crazy."
