No one is sure about a full diagnosis for me. ASD L1 and Seroquel lifts my depression w/o making me mad like SSRI.

Here are my 2p on bipolar and creativity. Being creative is not just about having ideas or performing well in some classical field of art like design, music or literature, but much more generally about getting stuff done. I'm a very technically oriented person and may work all night during one of my energy boosts, for instance on some programming project, where inspiration manifests in features or solution details.

On medication I have a regular sleep pattern and when I try to work into the night I simply fall asleep at my desk. I guess that's an indended effect of a mood stabilizing regieme. One does not need to be a Pollock or Van Gogh to feel the "grounding" effect of an antipsychotic.
