However the comparisons do not end with these three, with many creative practitioners being afflicted with mental health problems - in particular Bipolar Disorder. No creative discipline is exempt from these disorders, with a number of painters, writers, actors, musicians, filmmakers and people in other art forms all struggling with their mental condition. This documentary will follow one girl's struggle with Bipolar disorder and the impact it will have on her creative future. It will explore the links between creativity and poor mental health, as well as the stigma surrounding mental illness and treatment in general. Written by
