10.4 Madness And Creativity by History of Psychiatry Podcast Series published on 2016-10-13T08:34:47Z In the previous three podcasts in this section I have talked about the portrayal of madness in media, though at the end of the last one I touched on how sufferers represent themselves. Today I want to do something slightly different, by looking at the creative artistic products of those who suffer from mental disorders. This podcast looks at the assumption that manic depression and genius are linked, charting its fluctuating popularity over time and assessing its validity.
