The dark side of creativity - CNN.com

How do you feel about the news in this article. It says that suffering from depression and anxiety can actually help artistic geniuses. Anxiety and depression never did anything good for me!

I guess it is possible for some artists to work through their problems and succeed. They say Michelangelo had OCD and I think current #1 tennis player Rafael Nadal does too.

My emotional problems always seem to work against me. Does anyone have a success story to tell? Or, relevant thoughts to share?
