| CREATIVITY & EMOTIONAL DESPAIR |
| I have my GP to thank for introducing me to the concept of creativity and emotional despair. Firstly, what am I on about? Well, think about well known writers, musicians, artists who have suffered from bouts of depression or anxiety, is there a link? I believe that there is a link between creativity and emotional despair, is there something about those people with a creative streak in them that makes them more prone to emotional/psychological/mental disorders? I'd love to hear from you about what you think. My GP asked me to write a biography about a famous writer, musician or artist and compare their life with my own. I've chosen one of each to write about - Sylvia Plath, Alanis Morissette and Vincent Van Gogh. I found a lot of similarities in their lives and it certainly was an interesting project. Please follow the links below to my biographies. |
