New research suggests there is a link between childhood adversity and creative experiences. According to a study published in Frontiers in Psychology, performing artists who experienced more abuse, neglect or family dysfunction in childhood tend to have a more intense creative process.
Those things also make you a much higher risk for depression and substance abuse. Interesting.
True. I've always noticed that artists tend to be less good at what they do when they get therapy and sober. As good as Robert Downey Jr is today, his best work was when he was at risk of over dosing on set.
