Why Gifted peace gold 360 doc proportion genius was mentally ill so high?
Genius and mental illness
Over the years, many physicians also speculated that creativity and "mental illness" related, but there has been no scientific conclusion. Non-psychologist Dr. Felix Post, by the British after a decade of research and finally found that: "the creative talent and sick mind, does have some connection genius in more than a spiritual madness disease, but they can often spiritual madness. . inspiration and creativity So many intelligent people are also suffering from mental illness, "the Moscow Institute of Psychiatry 费拉基米尔 · 埃夫罗姆松 after research firm also said:" In between genius and disease, indeed There is a link can not be ignored. "
Dr. Post by analytical methods of modern psychopathology studied 300 well-known figures of modern humans after reached the following conclusions: 17% of the politicians who have obviously psychotic features, such as Hitler, Lincoln, Napoleon; scientists accounted for 18 %, such as Golden, Mende ear, amps, Copernicus, Faraday; thinkers accounted for 26%, such as Russell, Rousseau, Schopenhauer; 31% of composers such as Wagner, Puccini, Schumann ; 37% of painters such as Van Gogh, Picasso; novelists and poets in the proportion accounted for as much as 46% of the largest, such as Faulkner, Proust, Lawrence, Lermontov ......
According to the August 1, 2007, "China Daily" reported: by a team from Oxford University led scientists to participate in a multi-country study showed that, compared with the average person, left-handed are more likely to suffer from schizophrenia. Scientists study found that a gene in the human body seems to be able to increase the likelihood of the southpaw, but can also increase the risk of brain disorder. And this important discovery, but also more strong evidence, "there is indeed a link between genius and mental illness" this fact.
According to Professor Bose Pa stay special test proposed by the split-brain "theory of division of left and right brain" that: Our left brain in charge of reading, language, analysis, which belong to logical thinking and dominate the right side of the body and sensory nerves; and our Right Listen to music and art brain has special features, and there is space, graphics image understanding. It rely on intuition to inspect things, is to master the inspiration of creative thinking organization, it also govern the body's left-sided nerve and feel. We know that many prominent historical figures, such as Napoleon, Clinton, Reagan, Bush, Edison, Newton, Marie Curie, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Picasso, Chaplin, Einstein, etc. are left-handed. According to the principle of cross-brain dominant limbs, but also confirms the genius of inspiration for right-brain theory.
Chinese scientists won the Nobel Prize Samuel Ting said: "A distance of genius, and a nerve is not normal in the middle is very short." The great philosopher Yari · Costa also said before: "No genius is not with a sort of madness. " Known as Einstein's genius mathematician John Forbes Nash, because a great contribution in the field of game theory was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 1994. His name often appears in many areas of economics textbooks, papers evolutionary biology, political science and mathematics books and magazines. However, so that we think that this by "Fortune" magazine's most dazzling freshman mathematician, was actually suffering from "paranoid schizophrenia," the madman. Nash introverted child is very withdrawn, slightly larger people on his assessment was "weird" or "deviant." He sometimes thought he was God's left foot, sometimes tell people that he is the emperor of Antarctica empire, in his 30 years career peak came Shique suffering from mental illness.
We know that gas Ralph Nijinsky, the early 20th century Russia enjoy "the greatest actor," the title of outstanding artists. In his short but brilliant career in dance, Nijinsky successfully created "Arabian Nights", "Egyptian Nights", the main role "fairies", "Blue God" and other repertoire. On stage, he was in the most light, most touching skills, out of the most difficult steps. The director, his masterpiece "cowboy afternoon" and "The Rite of Spring" has become a classic of modern ballet. It is regrettable that in 1919, less than a 30-year-old Nijinsky suffered from serious mental illness. Also in the history of the great thinkers of the last decade of Nietzsche's life is spent in a lunatic asylum. The Russian painter Frew Buick, also taking life in a mental hospital.
According to the Russian newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" reported: a Moscow psychiatric hospital for some serious schizophrenics recently entered the hospital were tested on their intuition will be high, the results quite surprising. Most people at the time of guessing only 20-30 percent accuracy rate, but for the mentally ill say 86-92 percent. Professor, director of the Moscow Institute of Psychiatry Vladimir 埃夫罗伊姆 loose late once said: "Many of the world are more likely to get great genetic disease, and mental illness accounted for first ...... thing is so strange: the more talented insane, his greater achievement. "
British scientist Baron Cohen Recent studies have found that the great masters of science Newton is actually a depression patients. He published an article that in the "New Scientist": In addition to Newton made stunning achievements in the field of science outside, he was a selfish, narrow and combative Shaanxi wack. Newton almost never speak of love, is the handful of friends also exhibited apathy or bad temper. Sometimes even if nobody lectures, he will lecture on the empty classroom. Newton 50 years old, the end result of depression and paranoia caused by mental disorders. Also, according to all indications show that the great scientists in this disease as well as Copernicus, amps and Einstein. According to relevant statistics: Usually in 1000 an average of only four people who suffer from mild manic depression, and in the genius in this ratio is more than ten times.
According to the British "Daily Telegraph" website reported that the famous psychiatrist Professor Michael 弗茨 Ladd in the study states: Austria musician Wolfgang Mozart 阿迈 Brandes, German musician Ludwig Van Beethoven, Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky; the dean of Western philosophy of Kant, and the British writer George Orwell, writer Hans Christian Andersen, Balzac; poet Byron, Shelley, Pushkin, Robert et HISTORY masters dominate the field once in his lifetime are suffering from depression or schizophrenia. The disease leads to their strange behavior, but also to stimulate their creative potential. It is like Balzac said: "Genius is the human sick, it is as pearl shell sick."
Also genius suffering from these diseases are: French thinker Blaise Pascal, the German philosopher Hegel, the Italian violinist Niccolo Pagani, the great Polish pianist Chopin, Russian maestro West Kandinsky, German writer Johann Christoph Schiller, the French writer Alexandre Dumas, the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, the famous German writer Goethe, the famous British writer Virginia Woolf, French Symbolism a model of the poet Arthur Rimbaud, the Austrian founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, German painter 阿尔勃莱希 special Dürer like.
According to "Nature Medicine" magazine: Canadian Medical workers when "Williams's syndrome," the study found that many talented likely to be caused by abnormal gene sequencing. Senior researcher at Children's Hospital in Toronto, Scherrer said: a person's genetic profile like a 40,000-word book, abnormal gene arrangement like a book of about 20 word sentence was printed upside down, and patients suffering from this congenital disease since birth in vivo chromosome 7 less than 20 genes. While some aspects of these people with disabilities and can lead to mental illness, but it also may be the direct cause of the rapid increase intellectual breakthrough, and thus produce talented artists, mathematicians and scientists.
Another study also showed that: the body of chromosome 15 abnormalities, representing prone to panic, anxiety disorders and other mental illness. Yet it is also due to the effects of this genetic abnormality, it may become intellectually "Great Leap Forward" great power to produce a genius. The researchers also gave 120 patients suffering from depression, and some of those who committed suicide inspection found that suicide and suicidal people with this mutation have a close relationship.
Just recently, Dr. Bruce Miller at the University of California, after years of unremitting exploration, and finally found the ability to "start" button genius in the human brain. Miller was 72 when for various reasons suffered brain injury patients found that: Once a person under the right temporal brain hurt, it may become a genius in a field. And this "genius button" on the brain in a particular area under the right temporal, but usually will be some of the neurons that oppression can not be released. But for various reasons, these neurons after injury or necrosis, then that person's creative talent will get enjoy to play. If we can use artificial means to "start" button, then it is entirely possible to make an ordinary person become a super genius.
Moscow Brain Institute Medvedev confirmed Miller's conclusion, he said: nerves are called "measuring the wrong instrument" of the yuan is there, it is a brain inside of "preventive mechanisms", with some pressing genius function. It kept people's daily behavior deviant, whenever people's minds the emergence of new ideas, "measuring the wrong instrument" would interfere with the constraints. But if this mechanism went wrong, those extraordinary genius idea and theory will continuously emerge. Scientists through the research that: genius is often more patient deviant, their capacity is very low, although some aspects, but in many ways they are able to show extraordinary talent. Most of genius brain precisely because problems before they get to "liberate."
In today's most cutting-edge science than the human life sciences. In the human body, the most complex, the most mysterious and than our brains. The 21st century is the era of rapid development of the life sciences, cloning, genetic engineering continue to make breakthroughs, so that the dream of mankind for thousands of years are one by one into a reality. With the continuous development of molecular neurobiology and cognitive science, and we believe it will be a major breakthrough for the reveal brain structure and function.

One can find great painter Levitan rarely painted figures, and more painting landscapes. The reason is simple --- he was afraid and hate figure, rarely deal with them. His painting was painted on only a few, but not his paintings, but friends of mine.
Painter is difficult to control their emotions, often in sad and despair, and therefore intends to commit suicide several times. Freed from depression and other state, he became extremely excited, like a child naughty. And year after year, that time is getting shorter and shorter intervals.

Van Gogh understand their mental illness, but he has this disease by painting him as an indispensable part. He claimed: "Some people even though mad or sick, or love nature, these people are artists." It is his belief, he even convinced that if he really become insane sick people, then, "I'm more is madness, the more an artist. "

In general, different world with the eyes of most people's nerves schizophrenia. Most people think of something funny, schizophrenic patients saw only anger. The brain and do not have two things stand, he was unaware of their opposition. He often gives what is happening an unusual, even ominous meaning, convinced that only he can understand.

Life, mentally ill, and finally into a mental breakdown Austrian poet Nicholas Rheinau and famous French political scientist and philosopher Montesquieu have this tremor of psychiatric disorders, the two men in the room on the floor, they have left When writing tremor twitching feet mark. Johnson walked in the streets of London, always force yourself to touch each touch roadside mailbox, even if the occasional missed one, but have to go back and meet again once; he was out the door or any access, always according to their own prescribed heart, right foot or left foot across the threshold, if there is something wrong, we must re-cross again, until his mind satisfied.
Socrates also have this weird morbid action, often for no reason in the street dancing or jumping, such as has been in a state of extreme excitement.
● Ancient Greek and Roman statesman and military strategist Julius Caesar: Epilepsy
Julius Caesar was a statesman and strategist making ancient Greek and Roman history to change the course, but he was an epileptic. On the battlefield, he had two seizures due almost seriously affect his fate. Another time, when he released the Senate would like the highest honor, he sat on the consul's seat, because the loss of consciousness, how to stand up, just as you would the general public as to meet the senators, but lawmakers did not expressed his dissatisfaction with such behavior. After Caesar regained consciousness, immediately go home, undressed, stretched out his neck and said loudly, he was ready to make his throat to anyone who wants to cut the cut. He explained that this attitude of the Senate he was sick because of his relationship, he is a patient suffering from this disease can not speak standing in a large crowd, a sick one attack, they immediately feel faint mind halo, hands and feet shock, and finally completely unconscious.
● talented Russian writer Fedor Dostoyevsky Chomsky: Epilepsy
In addition to Caesar, like the Italian Renaissance genius poet Francesco Petrarch, the great French playwright and novelist Gustave Flaubert and Moliere, the great German composer Georg Friedrich Rick Handel, King Charles V of France, the ancient Christian St. Paul, are epilepsy patients. Lombroso believed that epilepsy may be related to artistic creation, because "the sudden lack of instant appearing intermittently artistic creation and consciousness often characterized is epileptic." Whether this interpretation correct further study, but the situation in Russia talented writer Fedor Dostoyevsky Chomsky, had, indeed, is the case.
Tuo Dostoevsky is a very peculiar genius. When he walked in the room dictate creation, often as Johnson did, every time come to be in front of the fireplace stove top knock or two; even more unusual is his mood can change quickly, often with the restless and epilepsy, hands trembling, convulsions, purple lips, cheeks flushed. But in this attack and an intermediate intermittent waking moment, he will be a brief sense of ideal state, at this time, his consciousness abnormal sensitivity, awareness very clear, thinking very active, which is usually his own and other general who are difficult to seek and achieve. This makes the Tuo Dostoevsky researchers can be like him, the famous scholar meters Bakhtin said, it is possible that the so-called morbid genius unique talent!
Understanding of the specific cross-sectional moment reached unusually sharp degree, and he was able to see many, others only a wide range of things to see where the monotony of things. In others see an idea where he would find and Tanmo get double thinking, dual personality; others see one kind of character in the place where he can dig out an opposing character exists. Everything had seemed simple to understand things in his world actually become complex and more ingredients. He was good to hear two voices arguing in every voice; good to see the frustration and immediately to the opposite face of omen in every expression in; in every gesture fathom where he had the confidence and self-confidence; he realized too two meanings of each phenomenon and a variety of comprehension.
● French modernist famous poet Charles Baudelaire ("Flowers of Evil" author): aphasia and hemiplegia
Charles Baudelaire poem is considered to have a few have reached the pinnacle of monumental art; and he was regarded as "the greatest 19th century art critic." But he was a man full of paranoid freak. Baudelaire family history of mental illness come from, so he from childhood onwards full of hallucinations and delusions; intoxication and ecstasy of life horror trembling, so when his consciousness sometimes extremely sensitive and numbness slow, which he himself can An opposition feel emotions. These have led him to life as a "horrible and repulsive desert oasis", so determined to try to escape. 6 years old his father died, his mother remarried the second year, Baudelaire bad relationship with his stepfather, quarrel more than. Once, in front of a friend's face, he tried to strangle stepfather, also refused to provide jobs for his stepfather, and herself a dissolute life. To enable him to change this life, stepfather sent him to India to do business, but the boat to the middle, he landed returning empty-handed, with nothing back, except for a black woman, one of his poems to be dedicated to her black woman . Yes, his love is sick, he loves the opposite sex is ugly, most people see a black woman would feel creepy or very tall or very short woman. He wrote a song called "stallion," the poem a woman: "She is very ugly, very likable." Said this woman was an ant, a spider or a skeleton, "really born too odd ugly bear ", but" In short, she has taste. " His desire to a very beautiful woman expressed that her hands hanging to the ceiling, so you can kiss her feet, kiss his bare feet is the equivalent of sex. Baudelaire also some irrepressible obsessive behavior, such as every month he should not have to change a residence; into a state of dementia before he threw the bottle is often difficult to restrain the shop window, jar or something just to be able to hear the sound of broken glass and other objects, made him feel happy.
Like Fyodor Dostoevsky, van Gogh, Baudelaire, etc. Thus genius suffering from epilepsy and other mental illness, may also include Italy's "devil" violinist Niccolo Paganini, France Symbolist poet Arthur Rimbaud example, the United States won the Nobel Prize for literature writer Ernest Hemingway, the famous British writer Virginia Woolf ...... convinced approaching extreme crazy extreme intelligence itself is a spiritual Pascal patients from the age of 24 he began to attack seizures disease.
Throughout history we find that: Many of the world famous people accomplished, the final outcome and we also mentioned in the article that a few "child prodigy" and genius, to the self-mutilation or suicide unfortunate way. As Russian writer Uspensky, German composer Robert Schumann, the United States won the Nobel Literature Prize writer Ernest Hemingway, and we are familiar Sanmao, Leslie ...... these enduring genius and human elite mostly introverted, eccentric, stubborn, are suffering from what psychologists call the "intelligence over disease" or severe schizophrenia. Their final outcome is really sad, regrettable and can not think of justice.
Undoubtedly, it is a serious mental disorder and psychological conflict resulting in people suffering from mental illness, made people think of is: only very wise, very sensitive to things, people, especially the genius, is most prone to intense psychological barrier and psychological conflict, this intense psychological disorders and psychological conflict over time, the body will naturally lead to mental illness, and finally made him a mad man. Apparently this happened only to genius and madness is some connection.
At this point, some people ask: Does our civilization is created and pushed forward by those nerve faulty character? Russian psychologist Dmitry - Azarov think not rule out this possibility, because there are different languages in the world, like the Greek, Jewish text and Sanskrit have some words have both mental disorders and foresee two meanings . For example, there is a great Socrates invisible "devil" in difficult times to give him ideas. Of course, not all of the crazy genius. But the famous Italian psychiatrist Lombroso in his monograph noted that many great men have a lot of obvious odd behavior, often accompanied by some of these behaviors dictate verses, formulas scores or "voice." Mild manic psychopath will often affected by this revelation.
German psychologist Craig 奇默 opinion, a "mundane" genius but with super feeling and rapid and effective response psychopath, but poor ability to adapt, often love to make little temper, easy mood swings, irritability, narrow-minded. Since people are so talented that when a genius, what is good? Therefore, it was to see their children mundane, conscious, even though he was just a confectionery shop owner or a health technician, and very satisfied. Besides, trekking can be a genius thing.
Psychiatrist was also expressed that the most prominent figures born in the family is a line there have been a genius, another line appeared madman. Both the quality of many generations of savings in the offspring of the subconscious up when one of the descendants of savings to achieve a "limit quantity", so they gave birth to Turgenev or Beethoven. These people play a role in mental illness of a key, use it to open the door to the subconscious, the results of schizophrenia symptoms of the disease will be born with some brilliant ideas and impressions burst out together.
Moscow Psychiatry Institute of Genetics research director, Dr. biology professor Vladimir 埃夫罗伊姆 loose late once said: "I have 60 years of life are very attention to the study of genetics and history. read a history book thousands, hundreds of the biographies of great men, seen dozens of encyclopedias, the conclusion is: the history of human civilization, a total of nearly 400 in history played an important role in the people I have noticed The great common people of the world are more likely to have a genetic disease, and mental illness ranks first did not know what the reasons are, things so strange: the more insane genius, his achievements will be.
Professor 埃夫罗伊姆 pine statistics, there may be born a genius in 1 million people, but to become a true genius, 5 to 10 million people have one. This means that in the early 21st century today, one billion people to have nearly 10 million people to achieve the level of genius. But, as psychologists say, if you do not care a genius, do not pay attention to their education, teaching was also very bad, and that any such rare disease biological "stimulus" can not play a role. It's like a high-quality seeds of plants will be buried in the earth, if you do not take good care of, it will sooner or later die.
