psychotherapy:

Currently reading, and highly recommended (especially for any artists/writers out there).

Takes on, and triumphs over, the long-standing cultural myth that therapy and/or psych medications somehow hinder the creative process in individuals. It does so with essay after intelligent essay from working poets who have been in treatment of one form or another, talking about how psychiatric treatment (for everything from depression to schizophrenia) has actually helped their writing rather than hindered or lessened it in any way.

    I’d say that Prozac would definitely help my writing process. It was like alcohol without the nauseating effects....
