It's scientific now - artists are more prone to craziness!

The study in the September issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says the brains of creative people appear to be more open to incoming stimuli from the surrounding environment...
Previously, scientists have associated failure to screen out stimuli with psychosis.
