17 - What makes you creative?

17 - Continuing with our mini-series of non-clinical topics we discuss five articles on creativity. We focus on 'little c' creativity - that is - creativity in everyday situations. Looking at how emotions, personality, brain organisation, bipolar disorder and children's play are all related to creativity. In Things We Came Across we discuss whether left handers remember dreams and digest the science behind food cravings.
