Wow that's intense. Simultaneously dark and enlightening. Simultaenously ugly and beautiful. Simultaneously disturbing and peaceful. It's like a tarot deck of the archetypes of the darkness of men. Very artistic. Darkness can make very good art.

Finding the accuracy of some of these very true, some very biased/inaccurate

Useful to help people without conditions to understand the suffering... but wonder to what extent some perpetuate stigma; increase helplessness; play to stereotypes (?)


Perhaps the intensity of the depiction can help an affected person feel their pain is more truly/thoroughly represented (?)


Bleak/defeated representations

Person is fully captured by these conditions

Images don't offer any hope

What do you think of these images Plenum?
I think with many of these mental conditions - which are self-identified - as the person themselves know that there is some Distortion at play, even without external/societal judgement, they indeed are a 'trapping' of Light.

And so I do think that at the heart of these thoughtform structures, there is a component of despair and loss.

That is the basis of balancing, imo.  Acknowledging the true nature of what's being experienced.

And yes - accuracy is not assured.  Smile  It was just offered as food for Thought; as I'm not a visual artist myself, and thus I can appreciate those who are much more skilled in such matters.
this is really intense. the bipolar one really called out to me. I can identify with that picture for sure
This has been enlightening. I have never researched mental health, despite being in the system since I was 12. I
have most of them. Or have overcome them.
