Not all talented people are bipolar and not all bipolar people are artistic, but there does seem to be that connection with some people. They need those manic periods to produce their best work so they don't get treatment for the condition or they never realize they have the condition. Of course, the mania sometimes leads to bizarre behavior and self-medication with recreational drugs.

Please tell me when Miley is going to enter a period when she produces art. Because we haven't seen it yet.

I don't think Miley has a single drop of talent. She's just a dumb kid pretending to be an adult. She thinks that waving her junk around on stage makes her provocative and it makes us think she's mentally ill. She is neither of these.

Tom Cruise for example. What do you think his DX is? I know he's dyslexic but that's not a mental disorder. Or Demi Or Kanye.

First person who suggested Tom Cruise. I think he has Bipolar.

I also think he has ADHD. (I already knew about the dyslexia.)

Most 'good' actors that I have heard speak will tell you they are either the child of divorce, or many have some other incident in their youth in which acting created an escape for them.
I remember Pierce Brosnan talking about this in an interview once, and he actually seems fairly normal (as actors go).

I think many actors feel that on stage, they can leave internal troubles.
Also, many are addictive personalities (drugs, smoking, alcohol abuse). This can't be a coincidence. This is all part of the escape from reality.

My drama-free husband sort of describes it like this: why would any normal person want to stand up in front of an audience, bear their soul and maybe their body, pretending to be another person? Makes no sense to him... but to me, if you are wrestling with demons, why not use some of that craziness to have some fun playing a character?

But, like other artists, there are some really super talented ones... who, I suspect do have more serious mental stuff going on.
Philip Seymor Hoffman comes to mind.

I'm an actor, and was going to reject what you said but: my parents were divorced, I experienced trauma and abuae at a young age and, yup, definitely have had trouble with addiction so...
