Creative artists are especially vulnerable to mental illness, and the German composer Robert Schumann is one of the finest examples of the blurred boundary between genius and insanity. Dr. Kogan explores how the racing thoughts, flight of ideas and sharpened imagination of Schumann鈥檚 hypomanic states induced prodigious bursts of creativity until the onset of psychosis led to his tragic final years in an insane asylum. Free, please RSVP.
