This brings up a good point. How do you determine whether you have poor mental health? I love how you mentioned a handful of authors and artists. These were obviously very high-functioning individuals who ended up taking their own lives -- and epitomize the so-called tortured artist. How can counseling help provide a better mental balance for folks like these while not diminishing the creative urges (which so many believe are driven by some level of 'madness?)
