Really? I thought I saw a study that debunked the idea that psychotics are more creative, but I could be mistaken.
The only benefit I remember is that relatives of people with schizophrenia have traits that are beneficial to society (can't remember what specifically) and that basically schizophrenia is the result of evolution heading in a more "cultural" direction and just overdoing it for that individual.
