Presented by Dr. Mohammad Alsuwaidan. Recorded on 12/17/14.
Van Gogh, Beethoven and Edgar Allan Poe were luminaries in their respective fields of art, music and poetry. Their passion for their art forms kindled a creative fire of productivity that affects humanity centuries later. Yet, all of them, like many other creative artists, poets and musicians, suffered from depression or bipolar disorder. In this age of advancement in the neurosciences we have been empowered to explore the age old question that this pardox presents: Is "madness" a part and parcel of "creative genius?" In this seminar we explore the links between mood disorders and profound creativity. We will go below the surface-level historical links and epidemiological associations and explore the neurobiology of mood disorders and that of creativity to come to an empirically-based answer. In doing so, this seminar examines the junctions between art, medicine, neuroscience and ethics, and attempts to uncover the secrets of what moves us emotionally as humans.
