J.J. Fine | 29 comments I am currently in the middle of writing a book on the connection between creativity and depression. I have talked with bestselling authors, syndicated cartoonists, painters and actors. My ongoing research has demonstrated that so many talented, creative people struggle with depression.
If anyone would be interested in talking to me I promise to treat the issue in a dignified manner and present it the way you want to tell it; your story with your issues, victories and how they affect you as an artist.

Zippergirl Interesting subject to investigate. A corollary is the incidence of migraines. They seem to go hand in hand.
