Eg you create art to cope with depression, so your depression created all your art and it’s actually not yours. And if it’s popular or successful, your depression is talented and successful, not you.

    It’s called being cultured, like cheese. Though art is a bit different as whatever shapes you does so long-term, even if you could zap away issues instantly the memory and thus influence will still be there.

    Also health/brain issues for me are likely a bigger detriment than anything, resulting in me doing nothing most of the time (small chores on a good day). So anything created is a rare win in spite of that.
