		<description><![CDATA[I found a link to a very interesting article on the Beyond Meds site.  The article is called The Creativity Crisis and it documents how creativity is key to a society&#8217;s success, and yet it has been in a decline in the US since about 1990.  The article finds various reasons for this, but one reason [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have written elsewhere about links between creativity and psychosis.  In a recent blog entry, Gianna Kali of &#8220;BeyondMeds&#8221; links to an article describing how teachers in schools all say they seek to encourage creativity, yet their favorite students all tend to be those who show traits incompatible with creativity &#8211; those who are good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the mental health field currently, when people experience intense anxiety and depression, and when they experience mania and/or psychosis, the experience is understood to be a “disorder” or a “biological dysfunction” that is of no use and should “corrected” by any means that might be effective in doing so.  The most straightforward way of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently reviewing an article, (Nettle 2006) (see the abstract below) that makes some really interesting observations that pertain to the relationship between psychosis and creativity.
