Religiosity is a common theme in manic psychosis.

I talked to a woman with schizophrenia once and she said every thing she saw that wasn't actually there were evil things like demons. She said one time she was going through her house and suddenly saw millions of spiders all over the walls.
Give them an antipsychotic to decrease their brains functioning to succeed in taking away part of what makes them human (their imagination) and you have a fixed patient with no or very little illusions.

Antipsychotics don't descriminate between bad and good imagination.
It might not always completely kill creativity,, but your creativity will be taken down a notch or a few.
