Illustration: Bipolar disorder

Bipolar affective disorder is a psychiatric disorder characterized by changes in elevated (hypomania and mania) and decreased mood (depression), which significantly affect the patient's entire life. There is a scientific explanation for why many creative people have bipolar disorder. Several recent studies have shown that people who are genetically predisposed to bipolar disorder are more likely than others to show a high level of creativity, especially in art fields where strong verbal skills are helpful.

This illustration represents manic-depressive psychosis. It represents certain primary and secondary emotions that occur in each person on a weekly and sometimes daily basis.

Primary ones are congenital and appear in the early developmental period. They occur quickly and spontaneously until the secondary ones are innate but are acquired through experience and life, they do not have innate facial expression but are expressed differently and are caused by different events in different cultures. The goal was to illustrate one large abstract mass of all the characters. No character represents an individual emotion but more of them, which is why they look demonic and vague.
