I thought this video was very interesting! Gilbert discusses the stigma of mental illness/addiction surrounding those in a creative field (writing, dancing, music, etc.) She gives a new perspective on the creative process and discusses how the stress and anxiety that the demands of the job bring, along with the pressure to "top the last book/song/dance/etc." can break these people down and bring about these mental illnesses, including drug and alcohol addiction.
