maybe not mental health, also depends on dose, and set/setting, and many other factors.
do it once every couple months or years

Give your creativity some fucking credit.
You don't need acid to do great creative work and you really don't need frequent trips to be creative.

You shouldn't.
I get what you are saying. Tripping and creativity are like peanut butter and jelly.
As a performing artist though, I assure you my best work has come with maturity, and years off from tripping. It is really empowering when you realize you can create things all by yourself.

"The researchers found that lifetime use of psilocybin or mescaline and past year use of LSD were associated with lower rates of serious psychological distress. Lifetime use of LSD was also significantly associated with a lower rate of outpatient mental health treatment and psychiatric medicine prescription."-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/08/130819185302.htm

Yup what you should really try doing is giving yourself more time than 2 weeks between trips to see your true creativity.
I was dropping acid and playing a lot of music for a while. At initial glance I felt like I had this burning passion when high on acid, my playing felt like jimmy page's. even some of my friends said I sounded better than usual. But eventually I realized I could just get that from playing all the time and trying to focus on what I was looking for.
Drugs aren't good to rely on for your skill. The nature of drugs really is what goes up must come down in a lot of aspects. You feel one way, expect to feel the opposite after.
It's good to get a solid psychedelic creative trip in, then integrate it just like you would with other psychedelic realizations.
However to answer the initial question, it depends on you. For the last two years I've tripped a lot. Probably with no more than a month in between at a time. Sometimes multiple days in a row. A lot of the time weekly. For brief periods more than weekly. This frequency is seriously not for everyone, and I'm glad I'm still sane in other people's eyes... I think.
Another thing about the music. I felt like I got disorganized near the end. Most people liked playing music with me, but a few of those people occasionally thought my playing got over complicated and got hard to follow. We were doing improvisation mostly so it's sometimes best to keep things simple and organized and be considerate of the ability of other musicians you play with.

You're going to ruin the magic fairly quickly like that. I also don't suggest it long term if you want to keep your head screwed on well. Some people manage, but many dont

It's not bad for you but I don't recommend it. I ate acid about two or three times a week for a season or two and I had trouble focusing my thoughts for about a year or two years after. I was always thinking philosophically and in my mind I'd be rhyming all the time with nonsensical words and beautiful poetry that was never written and lost to eternity. I'd sometimes be thinking of three things at a time and never able to focus on a given task because it felt so mundane and repetitive and irrelevant in the scheme of things. The psychedelic veil slowly lifted and I only use psychedelics a few times a year although I'd like to use them once a month but I can't find them all the time for moving constantly. But I wouldn't trade that acid enhanced season of blur of swirling colors for anything. It was easily the best and most amazing and insightful time of my life.

Haha definitely obliterated most visuals, that's for sure. I haven't tripped since the night I left the country, that was two weeks ago. I probably won't trip again for 3 months, unless something comes along. In just two weeks I noticed a vast difference in my mental state and its been very refreshing. Though I think the mental change was from the daily heavy marijuana intake.
I've been tripping for four years the last two I went way too hard, but I learned a lot. I appreciate you looking out for me.
I took 150 mics of al-lad and 150 mics of LSD along with multiple lines of 6-apb and half a Mac apple reboot tab the night before I left. I didn't get much visuals, and was able to print out my plane tickets, probably a sign it was time for a break.

Not good physically. Probably not very harmful either.
Mentally it's probably messed a lot of people up but also lots of people swear by it improving their lives. Just read more threads on the shroomery. Experiences are just as mixed as the characters that consume it.

Yeah this. I personally recommend against it though since you never know if you're going to be the one who gets the shit end of the stick. I think psychedelics are more useful for healing depression when those experiences are applied to every day life.

Every 2 weeks on the dot, it all comes down to you. Most likely RC's, not LSD either I believe in regards to myself so here's my 2 cents upon this.
Your mind will turn into a speed freak treadmill even in sobriety and life will become a fun house freak show, and you will probably blow your mind to the point of lying in a ball crying. But if your perspective isn't so rigid and set in stone you'll probably gain a deeper appreciation for life. It might go one way, the other, or both ways as it did with myself.
Questions or anything feel free to ask. Also I wouldn't recommend doing it alone either but even I was stupid enough to do that.
Any level or fear or your body simply saying "no, don't do it" be well aware of it. Whatever happens share and express, don't hold it in or hide. Isolation can cause just as much damage as your experience can.
PS:
Your tripping. Remember? Your tripping. Remember? Your tripping. Remember?

I used to live by the creed of tripping every 10-14 days, eventually trips became much more diluted and I ended up taking 400-500mcg every time I tripped because i'd trip every 6-10 days. Now that I don't have a pure, strong, cheap source anymore I haven't tripped in 5+ months. I constantly feel like I need to trip again, I feel like I lost a life guidance coach. Moderation is key, technically you can trip every two weeks but as mentioned before, it looses its magic and its meaning .

I also got the impression that an optimal tripping frequency is higher than 2 weeks. Maybe micro-dosing one can do on a daily basis, but actual full on trips I think need more time between them or indeed they lose their magic.
I remember when I had 2-3 trips in the same month, they didn't even register like distinct trips now looking back on it, so in a way each of them was less memorable. Not that many lessons either, as there was little time to process.
OP, what sort of creative work do you do, from the trips? Paint it write it sing it?

the longer you wait between each trip, the more time you have to fill your mind,thus ,the more you have to spill when you do drop that acid.
other than that your body can probably take it. i don't know if your mind can tho
