An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison
Can mental illness fuel creativity, or does it threaten to destroy it? In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis, we explore An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison, a raw and deeply personal account of living with manic-depressive illness.
As both a psychiatrist and a patient, Jamison offers rare insight into the exhilarating highs of mania, the crushing depths of depression, and the struggle to find balance through treatment. This episode examines the connection between bipolar disorder and creativity, the stigma surrounding mental illness, and the complex reality behind the mad genius myth. Does brilliance require madness, or is that one of the most enduring and dangerous misconceptions?
