Proposal for main project

I wanted to look at mental illness as a starting point to my project because I find the subject very interesting, but also I want to look at the links between creativity and mental illness, but to also explore why it effects people and how it happens. This is a subject quite close to my heart as many family members have suffered from mental illness both now and in the past. I want to start my project by looking into pacifically different types of illness in detail, before moving onto links with creativity and mental illness. I would like my work to represent and be inspired by my findings. I have also been told that I have no boredom threshold and I would like to test this to the limits as a sort of investigation into the way that my brain works along side mental illness.
