Creativity suppression can be described as a decrease in both one's motivation and capabilities when performing tasks that involve producing artistic output or creative problem-solving. This effect may be particularly frustrating to deal with for artists of any sort as it will induce a temporary creative block.

Creativity suppression will often synergize with other coinciding effects such as thought deceleration, emotion suppression, and analysis suppression in a manner which further decreases one's creative abilities. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of depressant compounds such as antipsychotics, and GABAergics.
