3 Things You Are Most Likely to be When You’re Creative

3. You’re more likely to be prone to depression

Charlotte Hill, one of our very good writers, have already completed one full article about the link between creativity and depression, and have served us several studies that also link it to other problems, such as anxiety. And the reason the article presented us was that creative people tended to feel that way because they have a higher propensity to feel isolated because little to none share their wavelength in terms of how they see ideas and concepts in the grand scheme of things.

According to an article published in Psychology Today about Creativity, and its links to Depression, Gwyneth Leech says that “creative people have characteristics that make them more vulnerable”. She cites that creative people’s openness to new experiences, tolerance for ambiguity, and the way we approach life enables us to perceive things in a fresh and novel way. And she argues that such traits can lead to feelings of social alienation that can lead to depression, also stated in Hill’s article.
