Abstract in brief
The review analyzed 29 studies and 34 reviews on the link between creativity and mental illness, finding that most studies had methodological flaws and lacked strong evidence for a causal connection.
About half of the original studies found no link, while some indicated a positive association, but overall, the scientific evidence remains limited and inconclusive.
Despite the weak or mixed evidence, many authors continue to promote a connection between creativity and mental illness, which raises concerns about the reliability of these claims and their social implications.]
Just watched a cool video on the "myth of the mad genius". Can anyone confirm this is an accurate representation of the literature? https://t.co/fETo1qDEVY

@Patbrdh the myth that creativity is inextricably linked to psychopathology is widespread and controversial. None of the following studies: "Sawyer RK. Creativity and mental illness: is there a link? November 2, 2012. https://t.co/9nvFh5l4R7. Accessed March 4, 2014." found a link 3/
