The clich is that creativity and depression go hand-in-hand. Like many clichs, this one is quite true. But creators are not necessarily afflicted with some biological disease or psychological disorder that causes them to experience depression at the alarming rates we see. They experience depression simply because they are caught up in a struggle to make life seem meaningful to them. People for whom meaning is no problem are less likely to experience depression. But for creators, losses of meaning and doubts about lifes meaningfulness are persistent problems even the root causes of their problems.
