Is there a thin line between brilliance and madness? The Mad Genius Thesis podcast dives deep into the fascinating and often controversial connection between creativity and mental illness. Each episode explores cutting-edge psychological research on creativity, unpacks the myths and realities of the "mad genius" trope, and examines the lives of history’s most celebrated artists, writers, musicians, and innovators who battled mental illness. Join us as we debate the science, analyze the stories, and challenge the stereotypes surrounding genius and psychological struggle.
