Genius, Creativity, and Bipolar Disorder

As for now, coasting at a steady speed. My concentration level is a little less than I would like it to be or the way it is when I am headed towards my manic state. I notice that I have to take more frequent breaks in between my reading. I prefer when I can continuously read as opposed to dragging the process out. I can fully understand why people actually enjoy their highs. They can be quite addicting. I think I am the most brilliant when I am manic. That is why all of the most creative and brilliant people are bipolar. Some the most talented celebrities are bipolar. These people include:

  • Agatha Christie
  • Albert Einstein
  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Buzz Aldrin
  • Jim Carey
  • Kay Redfield Jamison
  • Jane Pauley
  • Marilyn Monroe
  • Ozzie Osbourne
  • Plato
  • Robin Williams
  • Ted Turner
  • Vincent Van Gogh
  • Winston Churchill
  • Edgar Allen Poe
  • Hans Christian Anderson
  • Jimi Hendrix
  • Kurt Cobain
  • Elizabeth Taylor
  • Ludwig van Beethoven
  • Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • Tim Burton
  • Virginia Woolf
  • Wolfgang Armadeus Mozart
  • Thomas Stearns Elliot
I believe that there is most likely a correlation between intellect and bipolar disorder because the most talented people in their field tend to be bipolar. I mean come on, my hero Albert Einstein was bipolar! Where would we be without the theory of relativity? To be classified in a category with the people listed above is an honor in my opinion. Although we go through some serious mental struggles and we may have the propensity to harm ourselves we can look at this fact and feel a sense of honor almost. We are special. We are in a class of our own. I feel like I am apart of some elite club at times. A club that we were born into and birth rite is the only way you can earn admission. Although we are stigmatized by the rest of the world and sometimes shunned because of our mental illness, we have some advantage over them. So ha ha! Take that "normal people"!!
