You have it backwards.

The mentally ill are more likely to be artists.

>Learning how to "see like an artist" means turning off system 1 and boosting system 2, and most autists and schizos have their system 2 amplified to silly degrees
>Art is used as therapy for many people. The more problems you feel the more vent art is made, which is free practice
>Most people care about the here and now, if you care more about what you think about and remember then you may seek to draw it
>If you have shitty memory you may seek to draw to remember things
>Obsessiveness over minutia? Draw it to keep track of the details
>Have ideas that crop up from web-like relational thinking? That's more art
>if mentally ill, many countries will allow you to live on the dole
>abstract art was almost entirely founded by nutcases who thought they were getting visions from beyond

Many such cases!
