The drawing is about my depression blocking any positive light around me. Drawing it when I was in a down mood actually made me feel better.
The point is getting out of a depressive mind set may be achieved by creative means.
Please note, I’m no professional. I’m only offering what I’ve discovered that works for myself. However, the work finished by kids is part of an actual therapy session. My scribblings are more like a personal journal entry.
For a while, I debated about posting something about my creepy squiggles. I decided to go ahead after Googling “art” and “depression”. The web sites used follow at the end. I discovered that it’s actually called, “Art Therapy”.
The National Library of Medicine stated, “These findings suggest that art therapy cannot only be served as an useful therapeutic method to assist patients to open up and share their feelings, views, and experiences, but also as an auxiliary treatment for diagnosing diseases to help medical specialists obtain complementary information different from conventional tests.”
