In the past it has been assumed that depression is a debilitating disease that stifles creativity. However, many sufferers claim that they consider creative writing a purging release or an escape from the drudges of sadness. Some choose to write as a profession, based on this intrinsic value. Perhaps there is a new lens through which to view low levels of depression. In the same way that anxiety can serve as a form of arousal that can focus attention and serve as motivation, an element of melancholy may serve as a motivational catalyst to prompt the active choice to write, the ability to persist at writing in the face of rejection, and a way to focus mental effort in order to generate detailed dramatic and quality prose or poetry. The escape element of creative writing is found on the side of the reader, whereas writing serves for the author more as a way to regain a feeling of control over emotions and life situations. Five hypotheses were developed based on assumptions about the possible creative benefits of low (but not moderate or high) levels of depression.

This exploratory study attracted the participation of 11 women poets who (a) submitted a depression inventory to a credentialed psychologist who protected their privacy in the study and (b) responded anonymously to open questions about the emotions that they experience while writing and. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to determine whether responses supported the five hypotheses. Results of an interview analysis in which judges coded responses indicated that (contrary to expectation) three of the five categories associated with two of the exploratory themes were mentioned (the experience of solitude, emotional conflict, and catharsis). They were mentioned one third more often by the low depression symptom participants. Self-criticism was mentioned more frequently by those with mild depression scores (as expected), and focus and emotion-based memory connections were mentioned equally by participants at all depression levels. Qualitative analysis of the responses provided future themes for study, and further steps for investigation are suggested.
