In this manuscript the life and times of the poet, Charles Lloyd are reviewed. In particular attention is paid to his seizures, and the development of what was probably an epileptic-related psychosis. It is pointed out how the development of the psychosis essentially destroyed his poetic career, and his life is set alongside theories of creativity and mental illness, as has been reviewed recently in the literature. It is suggested that while there may be links between creativity and bipolar disorder, sadly epilepsy is probably destructive to the creative writing process, particularly the writing of poetry.
在这篇手稿中，诗人查尔斯·劳埃德的生平与时代得到了回顾。尤其关注了他的癫痫发作，以及可能与之相关的癫痫性精神病的发展。文中指出，这种精神病的发展如何在本质上毁掉了他的诗歌生涯，并将他的一生与创造力和精神疾病的理论联系起来，正如近期文献中所综述的那样。文章认为，虽然创造力与双相情感障碍之间可能存在联系，但遗憾的是，癫痫可能对创作过程，尤其是诗歌创作具有破坏性。
