Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Psychopathology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychology
There is something inherently appealing about the idea that creativity and psychopathology are inextricably linked
The eagerness with which this idea is perpetuated and often exaggerated was evidenced most recently in the media frenzy following the publication of a genome-wide association study which demonstrated what in effect was a modest genetic association between creativity and psychosis (Power et al, 2015)
