CPTSD/Disorders of extreme stress not otherwise specified

“In the 1800s, the concept of bipolar disorder—then largely known as “manic-depressive insanity” or “melancholia”—

became increasingly associated with creativity, particularly through the lens of the Romantic movement, which viewed extreme emotions and mental struggles as signs of genius. While not formally defined in modern terms, the intense, alternating mood states of individuals in that era were believed to drive high-level artistic, musical, and literary output.”
