Boice explains the depression piece a little more in this segment. The study he described was interesting because so many writers had bouts of depression. How do these numbers compare to the general population? Is this true of artists and musicians as well? Why?
I found the reading interesting because I know people who turn to writing to help figure out problems. For many writing an be therapeutic. Is the added pressure of publication one reason why depression happens among writers? I found his solution interesting. To me, the number of things to think about during writing sessions it verging on overwhelming. I'd rather not think about all these issues until problems arise.
