Mary Renault - The Charioteer
Laurie Odell, the protagonist, has a war injury that requires multiple surgeries and leaves him walking with a limp. Ralph Lanyon, another major character, lost part of his hand in the war.

RPF - Beatles
Brian Epstein, the Beatles' manager, was probably bipolar although he was never formally diagnosed.

RPF - Classical composers
Near the end of his life, Benjamin Britten was physically disabled after a stroke and used a wheelchair.
Robert Schumann was institutionalised for mental illness. He may have been bipolar, or syphilitic, or both.

Stephen Fry (a creator) is bipolar.
