Art and Mental Health

By -


Hello Everyone,

I am South Asia Ambassador and am studying medicine! I went to ArtSoc Mental Health Awareness last week which was very interesting as it talked about how art can be helpful in mental health. Art has been linked with mental disorders such as bipolar disorders, schizophrenia for many years.
It also has been established that creative expression is very essential to not only for the healthy development but also recovery from mental distress.






There are various art therapies where the art is used in a therapeutic environment with a trained therapist. In this way, the therapist helps you to express yourself in various ways such as by a piece of music, painting or even a play!
