There IS actually a proven connection between schizotypal traits and
creativity where there really isn't with mood disorders (except bipolar to an
extent), since you're "mad" but not so much so that you can't function well
enough to execute your ideas. It's worth googling about.

Article and “meta-research” distinctly not related to genius.

Genius is a distinctly one-in-a-million phenomenon, this is about people of
above average creativity and how they relate to those of below average
creativity. And very dubious categorization at that.

Speaking of the stereotype of'mad genius', as opposed to the eccentric
creative which this article is about, I would hypothesize that'mad' is simply
a mislabeling of the fact that those who are more intelligent are _generally_
going to be less guided by social norms and more by their own logic and views.
Being able to follow your own logic, without bounds, is something that is most
people, for some reason, do not tend to do.

Einstein is the best example of this. Relativity, and its implications, are
intuitively insane and absurd. Yet his logic led him there and he invested an
immense amount of effort and energy trying to prove it. And it turned out he
was correct. In a parallel universe where the laws of physics are more sane,
Einstein would have been labeled as insane for even imagining such an 'absurd'
idea might be reality.
