I think artistes should question the right of scientific stiffs to define sanity. I seem to remember another study years ago saying you were more likely to become mentally ill if you led a very "straight" life ... same breakfast every day, same walk to the same train to the same office, same packing up ... that, apparently does your head in.

Norwegian researchers decided a few years ago your chances of becoming mentally ill were reduced if you engaged in creating music in a group, choir, brass band, orchestra, band etc..
