Loui has some curious cases of composers who overcame their adverse psychological conditions and channeled their energy into acts of creativity. Famously, Rachmaninoff suffered from depression; Ravel suffered a detrimental neurological condition; and Schumann was lovesick of Clara Wieck. Loui also has a warning for those who might think that any adverse psychological conditions lead people to be more creative and warns the listeners to never equate correlation with causation.
