And it could be that hypomania or brief periods of mania , maybe even an hour a day or 30 minutes a day of composing or writing poetry , maybe even some of the lows that we feel right , some of the sadness , some of the grief , some of the nostalgia that we feel provided that it's not pathologic and that it's not persistent for the four or seven days that are diagnostic of bipolar two and bipolar one disorder respectively . Well , then we can start to view emotional states as something that can actually lend themselves to positive outcomes and maybe even to creativity and to improved occupations . So it's important that we have a nuanced view of what sadness versus depression versus major depression are .
Well , then we can start to view emotional states as something that can actually lend themselves to positive outcomes and maybe even to creativity and to improved occupations . So it's important that we have a nuanced view of what sadness versus depression versus major depression are . It's important that we distinguish between being erratic , being very energized and full blown bipolar disorder .
Again , associate this isn't causal , it's associated or correlated with higher levels or incidents of bipolar depression and maybe even other forms of depression . So this is a study looking at mood disorders in eminent individuals . So these are people that are not just good at what they do but are exceptional at what they do and explored the percentage of people in given professions with either depression or mania .
So it's important that we have a nuanced view of what sadness versus depression versus major depression are . It's important that we distinguish between being erratic , being very energized and full blown bipolar disorder . And I raise this for another reason as well .
It's about 30% of those that they looked at who are actors have man manic episodes or have full blown mania . So I'm referring to these data because first of all , I find them incredibly interesting right up until now we've been talking about bipolar disorder and other mood disorders for their maladaptive effects . And again , they're extremely maladaptive , much , much higher instance of , of suicide et cetera .
