Creativity is closely associated with bipolar disorder. 

This condition is unique . Many famous historical figures and artists have had this. Yet they have led a full life and contributed so much to the society and world at large.

See, you have a gift. People with bipolar disorder are very very sensitive. Much more than ordinary people. They are able to experience emotions in a very deep and intense way. It gives them a very different perspective of the world. It is not that they lose touch with reality.

But the feelings of extreme intensity are manifested in creative things.
