"The question Creative or Crazy invites us to wonder whether
young peoples’ behaviours are actually symptoms of a mental
health disorder or are sourced in creative coping strategies to
enable them to cope with childhood trauma/abuse."

I hesitate to label any child with a mental health disorder. In my experience, all (or at least the majority) of teenage girls are borderline and histrionic.
It's an interesting question. I would look at the coping strategy and assess it's adaptiveness as well as destructiveness. As long as it is helpful and not detrimental, I'd call it creative.

I believe it has to be a mixture of both as a matter of survival in the world they live in now..some being more adaptable than others results in one with higher achievements one with the lesser in life..
Difficult formative years are often the basis of a successful adulthood as well..

I think, quite possibly the latter.
Still, anyone has a heck of a difficult time trying to change their behaviour-even when it's not getting them anywhere, people just carry on doing the same thing over and over.
