And many of them drive their emotions to extremes so that they can create more effectively ( such as artists , singers etc...) the danger here is that this also include negative even dangerous emotions like depression.

I was saddened to hear last month about the depression-induced suicide of David Foster Wallace, writer of the novel "Infinite Jest" and several books of short stories.

Symptoms on the schizophrenic scale have also been associated with increased creativity. Bipolar hypomania, where a person is euphoric, is often associated with increased creative output as well. My own family has many individuals with mental illness and a high IQ. Both of these traits combined can lead to more creativity than a normal person.
