{{Main|Creativity and mental illness#Bipolar disorder}}
A link between mental illness and professional success or creativity has been suggested, including in accounts by [[Socrates]], [[Seneca the Younger]], and [[Cesare Lombroso]]. Despite prominence in popular culture, the link between creativity and bipolar has not been rigorously studied. This area of study also is likely affected by [[confirmation bias]]. Some evidence suggests that some heritable component of bipolar disorder overlaps with heritable components of creativity. [[Proband]]s of people with bipolar disorder are more likely to be professionally successful, as well as to demonstrate temperamental traits similar to bipolar disorder. Furthermore, while studies of the frequency of bipolar disorder in creative population samples have been conflicting, full-blown bipolar disorder in creative samples is rare.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Akiskal H, Akiskal K | veditors = Lakshmi Y |title=Bipolar Disorder: Clinical and Neurobiological Foundations |pages=83–89 |publisher=Wiley |chapter=The Genius-Insanity Debate: Focus on Bipolarity, Temperament, Creativity and Leadership|doi=10.1002/9780470661277.ch9 |isbn = 978-0-470-66127-7|year=2010 }}</ref>
