This document discusses the relationship between creativity and madness. Historiometric, psychiatric, and psychometric studies show higher rates of mental illness symptoms among highly creative individuals, especially artists. However, outright mental disorder usually inhibits creativity. While some traits like openness are shared between creativity and psychopathology, high intelligence and ego strength allow creative individuals to channel unusual thoughts productively. Creativity and madness are related but distinct.

Imposter Syndrome
Finding the Predictors
Introduction
What is Imposter Syndrome?
Imposter Syndrome is a phenomenon originally termed by Clance and Imes in 1978. Those who have Imposter Syndrome are, in fact, not imposters at all. Imposter Syndrome (alternatively called Imposter Phenomenon) is a common psychological phenomenon in which individuals regularly believe that they are incompetent in their given field or at a type of task, regardless of their accomplishments and qualifications (Clance & Imes, 1978). These individuals deny their own skill and ability, chalking it up as “fooling others” or “luck” that has got them to where they are today.

Hypothesis
The current study is going to investigate three variables that to be possible predictors of Imposter Syndrome.
Self Concept Clarity
Vulnerable Narcissism
Upward Social Comparison
5
Predictor #1: Self-Concept Clarity
Self-Concept is defined as what an individual considers to be the most emblematic of their true nature, regardless of if the cognitive schema aligns with “actual” self of the individual (Schlegel et al., 2009). Thus, a clarity of self-concept is the ability that one has on identifying the characteristics that define them.
Schlegel et al. (2009) suggests that finding one’s “true self” contributes significantly to the overall well-being of an individual. Should a conflict arise with this identification, so shall conflict arise in the well-being of an individual.
Many young adults today have identification issues due to not fully seeing themselves as an adult or an adolescent (Arnett, 2001). This identity tension that arises within emerging adults can then continue forward into their professional lives, especially as they continue to achieve higher education (Murphy, Blustein, Bohlig, & Platt, 2010). This lack of a clear identity is suggested by the current study to foster a state in which Imposter Syndrome can grow.

Predictor #2: Vulnerable Narcissism
When people think of Narcissism, they tend to think of those who are Grandiose Narcissists: self-important and with feelings of superiority, as well as interpersonal exploitativeness (Raskin and Hall, 1981). Vulnerable Narcissism, by contrast, is a more sensitive form of narcissism. Those who are vulnerable narcissists are hypersensitive, defensive, and withdrawal internally (Cain et al., 2008). The vulnerable narcissist will essentially seek out attention and approval from others to boost their weak esteem.
A study by Kaufman et al. (2020) found that vulnerable narcissism is associated with feelings of Imposter Syndrome, as well as a weak sense of self. This study collectively finds that both imposter syndrome and a weaker sense of self are related to vulnerable narcissism, ...

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
2. Conceptions of the Mad Genius
Aristotle: “Those who have become
eminent in philosophy, politics, poetry, and
the arts have all had tendencies toward
melancholia.”
Seneca: “No great genius has ever existed
without some touch of madness.”
Shakespeare: “The lunatic, the lover, and
the poet/ Are of imagination all compact.”
Dryden: “Great Wits are sure to Madness
near ally'd,/ And thin Partitions do their
Bounds divide.”
3. Conceptions of the Mad Genius
1895 article in the Journal of Nervous and Mental
Disease listed the four possible results of an inferior
genetic endowment:
“First, and most prominent in the order of
frequency is an early death.
Second, he may help swell the criminal ranks.
Third, he may become mentally deranged and
ultimately find his way into a hospital for the
insane.
Fourth, and least frequently, he startles the world
by an invention or discovery in science or by an
original composition of great merit in art, music or
literature. He is then styled a genius.”

5. Conceptions of the Mad Genius
Psychiatrists > psychopathology
especially the psychoanalytic tradition of
psychobiographies: “pathographies”
Humanistic psychologists > mental
health
echoed in current “positive psychology”
movement
8. Historiometric studies
Here historical data are subjected to
objective and quantitative analyses.
In particular, the biographies of eminent
creators are systematically analyzed to
gauge the presence and intensity of
symptoms associated with various
mental illnesses.
Such historiometric inquiries lead to four
conclusions.
9. Historiometric studies:
Four Conclusions
First, the rate and intensity of symptoms
appear to be higher among eminent
creators than in the general population.
Although the exact increment depends on the
specific definition used, a rough estimate is that
highly creative individuals are about twice as
likely to experience symptoms of mental
disorder relative to otherwise comparable
noncreative individuals.
Depression seems to be the most common
symptom, along with the correlates of
alcoholism and suicide.
10.
11. Historiometric studies:
Four Conclusions
Second, the more eminent the creator, the
higher is the expected rate and intensity.
Third, the rate and intensity of symptoms
varies according to the specific domain of
creativity.
For example, psychopathology is higher among
artistic creators than among scientific creators.
Thus, according to one study, 87% of famous
poets experienced psychopathology whereas
only 28% of the natural scientists did so, a rate
closer to the population baseline (see figure).
12.
13. Historiometric studies:
Four Conclusions
Fourth, family lines that produce
eminent creators also tend to be
characterized by a higher rate and
intensity of symptoms.
Hence, there may be a common
genetic component to both creativity
and psychopathology.
For example, the Tennyson family.
14.
15. Psychiatric studies:
Here the evidence depends on the
incidence of clinical diagnosis and
therapeutic treatment in samples of mostly
contemporary creators.
Hence, it does not require retrospective analysis
as in historiometric studies,
and the assessment of psychopathology usually
reflects modern diagnostic standards.
Even so, such research leads to four
conclusions that reinforce what was found
in historiometric research.
16. Psychiatric studies:
Four Conclusions
First, distinguished creators again display a
higher rate and intensity of symptoms.
Second, this relationship is especially
strong for those engaged in artistic
creativity.
Third, depression, alcoholism, and suicide
again appear to be the most common
indicators.
Fourth, creativity and mental illness again
tends to run in the same family lines.
17. Psychometric studies
Here standard assessment instruments are
applied to contemporary creators.
The sampled creators either
vary substantially in creative achievement, or
are compared to a non-creative control group.
The psychometric measures include the
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
(MMPI),
the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ).
This work leads to three corroborating
conclusions and two elaborating conclusions.
18. Psychometric studies:
Three Corroborating Conclusions
First, highly creative individuals score
above normal level on several dimensions
associated with psychopathology.
e.g., creativity is positively correlated with
psychoticism scores on the EPQ.
Second, the higher the level of creativity
displayed, the higher the scores tend to be
on the clinical scales.
Third, artistic creators still have more
elevated scores than do scientific creators.
19. Psychometric studies:
Two Elaborating Conclusions
First, although highly creative individuals
tend to exhibit elevated scores on certain
symptoms, their scores lie somewhere
between the normal and abnormal ranges.
E.g., although successful writers score higher
than normals on most MMPI clinical scales,
and highly creative writers score higher still,
scores for both groups remain below those
received by psychotic samples (see figure).

23. Psychometric studies:
Two Elaborating Conclusions
At these moderate levels the individual will possess
traits that can actually be considered adaptive from
the standpoint of creative behavior.
For instance, higher than average scores on
psychoticism are associated with independence and
nonconformity, features that support creativity.
In addition, elevated scores on psychoticism are
associated with the capacity for defocused attention -
enabling ideas to enter the mind that would normally
be filtered out during information processing.
This less restrictive thinking is also associated with
openness to experience, a cognitive inclination that is
positively associated with creativity.
24. Psychometric studies:
Two Elaborating Conclusions
Second, creative individuals score high on other
characteristics that would seem to dampen the effects
of any psychopathological symptoms.
In particular, creators display high levels of ego-
strength and self-sufficiency.
Thus, they can exert meta-cognitive control over their
symptoms, taking advantage of bizarre thoughts rather
than having the bizarre thoughts take advantage of
them.
And, creators have above-average intelligence.
Creators do not necessarily have genius-grade IQs,
but they do have sufficient information-processing
power to select, develop, elaborate, and refine original,
even “crazy” ideas into creative contributions.

27.
28. Theoretical interpretation
Two key questions:
Do these results imply that creativity and
psychopathology are intimately
connected?
Are genius and madness tantamount to
the same thing?
29. Theoretical interpretation
Answer to first question: Yes
Various indicators of mental health
appear to be negatively correlated with
creative achievement.
This is evident from historiometric,
psychiatric, and psychometric research.
30. Theoretical interpretation
Answer to the second question: No.
Few creative individuals can be
considered truly mentally ill.
Indeed, outright disorder usually inhibits
rather than helps creative expression.
Furthermore, a large proportion of
creators exhibit no symptoms, at least
not to any measurable degree.
31. Theoretical interpretation
Instead, creativity shares certain
cognitive and dispositional traits with
particular symptoms, and that the
degree of that commonality is
contingent on the level and type of
creativity displayed.
More specifically, the relationship can
be expressed in the following four
points:
32. Theoretical interpretation
First, creativity requires the cognitive ability and the
dispositional willingness to “think outside the box,” to
explore novel, unconventional, and even odd
possibilities, to be open to serendipitous events and
fortuitous results, to imagine the implausible or to
consider the unlikely.
From this requirement arises the need for creators to
have such traits as defocused attention, divergent
thinking, openness to experience, independence, and
nonconformity – namely, the “creativity cluster” of
traits.
33. Theoretical interpretation
Second, the higher the level of creativity, the higher
the likelihood that the individual manifests this
cluster.
Yet, domains vary in how much they need this cluster.
For instance, scientific creativity tends to be more
constrained by logic and fact than artistic creativity.
Accordingly, this cluster of attributes will be more
apparent in artists than in scientists.
Moreover, artists operating in formal, classical, or
academic styles will operate under more constraints
than artists working in more expressive, subjective,
or romantic styles. So, the former will exhibit the
creativity cluster less than the latter.
34. Theoretical interpretation
Third, because some psychopathological
symptoms correlate with several of the
characteristics making up the creativity
cluster, moderate amounts of these
symptoms will be positively associated with
creative behavior.
Furthermore, more creative individuals will
display these traits to a higher degree.
Creators operating in less constrained domains
will also exhibit these symptoms to a greater
extent.
35. Theoretical interpretation
Fourth, psychopathology is not the only possible
source for the creativity cluster.
The environment can also nurture creative
development.
Although some of these developmental influences are
also associated with psychopathology, others are not.
On the one hand, creative development is frequently
associated with traumatic experiences in childhood or
adolescence, experiences that may also contribute to
depression and suicidal behavior.
On the other hand, development is also linked to an
enriched and diverse intellectual and cultural
environment, an environment that is neutral with
respect to psychopathology.
36. Conclusion
Psychopathology and creativity are
closely related, sharing many traits
and antecedents,
but they are not identical, and
outright psychopathology is
negatively associated with creativity.
This fits what Dryden said about the
“thin partition” separating “great
wits” and “madness.”
37. Conclusion
Or, as the highly creative but not
truly crazy Surrealist painter Salvador
Dali once expressed the distinction:
“The only difference between me and
a madman is that I'm not mad.”
