In this section, I would like to discuss the impact of bipolar disorder on Creativity 

Bipolar disorder plays a positive influence in art practice

After doing some research, I found that the genetic features of bipolar disorder may also predispose people to creativity. This was apparent, particularly in fields where strong verbal/visual skills are advantageous.

And few investigations of the emotional module were found that a schizophrenic artist’s artworks are characterized by strong emotions. Emotion is the fundamental idea in between art and creativity, without emotion artworks are the same as a common object. When artists are suffering from bipolar disorder, they come to be more emotional towards self or society. In this way, bipolar disorder plays a positive influence in art practice for producing emotional artworks.

It’s not a replacement for traditional therapy or medication, but it can be a valuable complement to existing treatment strategies

Those people who are suffering from bipolar disorder have forgetfulness or lost. In addition, they are unable to express their desires when they don’t have any medium for self-expression. At that moment art can be an appropriate medium for self-expression. Through creative outlets like visual art, music, and poetry bipolar disorder people can describe how and what they feel.

what’s more:

Expression/Catharsis/Mindfulness: Art-making often requires focus and concentrationthe /Sense of accomplishment gained from creating something meaningful/Self-awareness

Maybe the question could be:

How can art/creative outlets serve as therapy for individuals with bipolar disorder?
