In reply to Creativity and depression, posted by naiad on January 21, 2004, at 4:35:56
> In taking my family history I told my pdoc about my sister who experienced a severe depression a few years ago. She is much better and has been off of anti-depressants for a couple of years now but is thinking about going back on because she thinks she might have an underlying depression that is inhibiting her creativity. She is a painter who is becoming quite successful.

> My pdoc said that she thinks medication benefits artists but that many of them tell her they are afraid it will take away the angst that fuels their art.

> Anyone with any experience/insight? Thanks.
