Abstract
The phenomenon of creativity is often accompanied by mental disorders. In particular, many individuals suffering from bipolar affective disorder are endowed with artistic, musical or literary talents. BPAD patients experience alternating depressive and manic conditions. The emotions they experience are channeled through creative activity, which is a specific form of communication between the creator and the outside world.
