Book excerpt: Rates of mental illness are hugely elevated in the families of poets, writers and artists, suggesting that the same genes, the same temperaments, and the same imaginative capacities are at work in insanity and in creative ability. Writing for the general reader, Daniel Nettle explores the nature of mental illness, the biological mechanisms that underlie it, and its link to creative genius.
