Is there any validity to the studies that say that bipolar disorder is associated with creativity?

Just curious.

increased creativity is a common symptom of mania/hypomania, just as a decrease in creativity can be connected to depression/anhedonia. the individual may not be more creative than average, but will exhibit (or experience) more creativity than usual during manic/hypomanic episodes.
