I think that the depression drives you to start doing creative things, and as you are doing them, you gain a momentum in doing them.

I used to think that I'd need my depression in order to write, and I'm finding that I can get to the same creativity without it. The hard part is getting started...finding a reason to be creative when you have so many other things on your plate.

In other words, no, I don't think depression is linked to being super creative. I just think it's more of a catalyst.
