In taking my family history I told my pdoc about my sister who experienced a severe depression a few years ago. She is much better and has been off of anti-depressants for a couple of years now but is thinking about going back on because she thinks she might have an underlying depression that is inhibiting her creativity. She is a painter who is becoming quite successful.
My pdoc said that she thinks medication benefits artists but that many of them tell her they are afraid it will take away the angst that fuels their art.
Anyone with any experience/insight? Thanks.
