Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Richards and colleagues (1988) speculated that the genetic vulnerability to mood disorders is associated with a predisposition to creativity, based on the evidence that many famous creative people have suffered from bipolar disorders. However, this does not mean that mania is at the heart of all creativity or that the same gene causes bipolar disorder and creativity. It also does not necessarily imply that creative endeavours directly lead to the development of mood disorders, although they may contribute to stress and other factors that could increase the risk of mood disorders.
