    Link between mental illness and creativity. . .

    Adam -

    Yes, Art and the creative process has been beneficial in confronting my problems. You can't hide from a self portrait. I have been painting my depressions and anxiety for several years now, I am 48, and I believe that my ability to sketch has greatly enhanced my ability to remain alive. Mental illness has robbed me of so much - I don't honor any "link". Are we supposed to feel grateful? I don't know - what do you think?
