carbohydrate-based sports drinks are
beneficial.
• Drink a cup or two of water one to
two hours before activity to assure
hydration, and 4 to 6 ounces of water
every 15 to 20 minutes to keep well-
hydrated.
Also keep in mind that in the heat
and humidity of summer, fluid require-
ments rise to a high-water mark 10 to
16 eight-ounce glasses.
Heat or exertion, it seems, can drain
at much as 5 to 7 quarts of liquid from
the body a day - a loss that an under-

achieving thirst mechanism is powerless
to address. ❑

Creative Blues

ic-depression has
plagued a host of poets,
writers and composers -
ohn Berryman, Sylvia
Plath, Anne Sexton, van Gogh, Georgia
O'Keeffe, composer Robert Schumann
- and may have influenced their creativ-
ity.
"A high number of established artists
- far more than could be expected by
chance - meet the criteria for manic-
depression or major depression. In fact,
it seems that these diseases can some-
times enhance or otherwise contribute 40
to creativity in some people," wrote Kay
Redfield Jamison, a psychiatry professor
at Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine in Baltimore.
Mania, she wrote in Scientific
American, seems conducive to origi-
nal thinking and increased productiv-
ity.
However, Frosch, who has written
on a subcategory of pathography called 10
psychopathography - the influence of
mental illness on art - believes there's lit-
tle evidence that mental illness aids cre-
ativity.
"Manic-depressives are rarely able to
do anything when they are sick," he
said. "Turning something into art
requires a kind of control in one's mate-
rial and technique; if you're crazy, you
have great trouble accomplishing any- 10
thing that requires structure and organi-
zation."
In some famous people, illness
may have been more imagined than
real, some experts speculate. Charles
Darwin, Crimean War nurse Florence
Nightingale and Mary Baker Eddy,
founder of Christian Science, had
complex and subconscious needs to
manufacture their illnesses, becoming
hypochondriacs, wrote Dr. Thomas
Pickering in his book Creative
Malady. ❑
