Abstract

Artists with psychiatry disorder can express themselves very well in art and this became an object of study in the whole world. This review article has the objective of analyze artists with suspected or diagnosed psychiatric disorders who had a major impact on art history. Also understand the possible correlation between the disorder and the processes of creativity and artistic production. This study was an observational study. We searched for following keywords: Mental Disorders; Famous artists; Art; Writing; Literature; Music; Paintings. We found about one hundred papers and books and used sixty references such as papers based on citations and relevance of their journal. They were searched on PubMed and SciELO database. The results achieved were that increased combinatorial thinking, consequences of positive affect such as increased unusual associations and increased speed of thought are some of the notable factors of the relation that is not necessarily causal, but correlative between mood disorders and the creative process. In conclusion, there are countless types of correlations between psychopathologies and the creative process, whether the disease is cause or context, tends to interfere in the final result of the artistic creation process. Elucidating both the impact of the disease on patients' lives as a whole, as well as the broad relation that is established between art, creativity and the particularities of disorders.
