The illustrations try to portray the distinctions of an unbalanced mind, through ink. They are an attempt to capture the turmoil of the ‘crazy’ ones. It is very common to be ignorant of the fact that most people who surround us experience some kind of psychological stress. It brings me to sketch the top four common disorders that patients themselves refrain from addressing. But it keeps them in a paranoia. A major section of our society considers these disorders as a common cold or flu, far away from being rational and empathetic towards the aberrational patients. If you are apprehensive when you look at these illustrations, they have done their job. The sketches will be potent if either you are one of them or at least you understand and empathize with them. The third category is yet to align with the ‘Point of View’. More compassion and understanding have to be there for those who survive each day with their mental health. After experiencing these illustrations, hopefully, you will see these disorders with their point of view. As they say “Fighting our own demons is the longest and most difficult battles we have to go through". Such is the case with every single human being irrespective of the order of mind.
“Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being’s suffering. Nothing, not career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we are going to survive with dignity.”
-Audrey Hepburn
