    but I also know depression and creativity tend to go hand in hand.
This statement worries me. I've known severely clinically depressed people who wouldn't get the help they needed because they were afraid they would lose something.

I would rather say that a connection between depression and creativity might exist rather than go "hand in hand." I also know formerly depressed creative people who say that, after they got help or when they were not depressed, they were more creative and productive than ever before.
