Always wanting to write a novel, is this considered a mental illness? How to treat it?

This kind of thinking was not necessarily a mental illness, but a creative impulse. The creative impulse was a common emotional experience that often gave rise to creative desire and inspiration. It was not a sickness but a positive emotional state. If you want to control this creative impulse, try the following methods: 1. Be clear about your creative goals and plans. Don't let yourself fall into a state of aimless writing. 2. Find a quiet environment to reduce external interference. 3. Make a detailed writing plan and allocate time and tasks. 4. Read more books and write more to continuously improve your literary accomplishment and creative ability. 5. Sharing your writing progress with your readers to get feedback and suggestions. The above methods can help control the creative impulse and improve the efficiency and quality of creation. If this creative impulse seriously affects your life and work, you can consider consulting a psychiatrist or counselor for more professional help.
