<<<Dr. Joyce Brothers once said that suicidal people tend to suffer from "a profound lack of imagination". WHich sounds terribly clever, but I'm not sure I agree-- I suppose she means that they no longer can envision a future of any attractiveness or any alternative to the hell they're in? BUt I don't think that denies the presence of imagination; in fact many great artists are suicidal even in the throes of their greatest creativity. I think a lot of them are victims of an affective disorder--Poe, Gauguin, Pollack, Schumann. Syliva Plath, Van Gogh, Anne Sexton, Hemingway, Virginia Woolf all committed suicide. Artists and depression seem to go hand in hand. I think people with little imagination would be less likely to despair, be more accepting. Which raises the question of whether the new drugs for depression would hinder the creative effort??
