Method and Madness: Connecting Creativity and Mental Health

It’s been said there is a fine line between genius and insanity but where does that line lie? Are creative people at a greater risk for mental illness? What are the unique psychological challenges faced by creatively gifted people? Is divergent thinking a help or a hindrance? Can creativity be boosted by improving mental health, or vice versa?

These are some of the questions that will be discussed in this interdisciplinary presentation offered by faculty members from SUNY Broome’s Biology and English Departments.
