❗️Throwback Post❗️A look back at the JHU Depression & Creativity Symposium
🧠 If you're Bipolar or have 📚 studied mood disorders, then you know of Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison. You've likely read her book, "An Unquiet Mind," and know that she's famously open about her own struggles with bipolar disorder.
This makes her undeniably compelling. Weaving her experiences into her research and work as a Professor Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and co–director of the Johns Hopkins Mood Disorders Center.
Years ago, she was part of a symposium at JHU. Discussion focused on the 👉 impact of depression and its influence on creativity. 👈
💡 As expected, the presentation was thought-provoking. A look into the relationship between writing and art, using examples of female poets, Sylvia Plath, and Virginia Woolf led into a wide-ranging dialogue about mental health.
