Titus Lucretius Carus committed suicide does this mean that due to a turbulant life your literary works are underminded and void? or is creativity exempt from madness?

"Scientists have wondered for a long time why madness and creativity seem linked, particularly in artists, musicians, and writers," notes Shelley Carson, a Harvard psychologist. "Our research results indicate that low levels of latent inhibition and exceptional flexibility in thought predispose people to mental illness under some conditions and to creative accomplishments under others."

Van Gogh...Hemingway....Sylvia Plath...some of humanity's greatest talents have been depressed, bipolar, etc. Not only would I suggest that their works are not undermined and void because of their problems; they may have been born of them.
