Is there a line between genius and madness? What is the difference between the madness of artists and the madness of genius?

If you have Clubhouse, follow Creative Codex Club and myself (MJ Dorian), to join the community and enjoy future conversations! Here is a link: https://www.joinclubhouse.com/club/creative-codex-club

It presents us an opportunity to accept the parts of our psychology we often keep in the shadows...
