Mental Health and
the Artist
Creativity and Mental Illness
zz
“No great genius has ever
existed without a strain of
madness.”
Aristotle
z
Motivation of Art:
Art as Form of Healing or Therapy
z
Myth: One needs to have a bit of
madness to be creative
Fact: Mood-creativity research reveals that
people are most creative when they are in a
positive mood and that mental illnesses such as
depression or schizophrenia actually decrease
creativity.
z
However, there are evidence that artists, writers,
philosophers, scientist and even mathematicians
are prone to mental illness OR may have been
treated from a certain form of mental illness once
in their life or continually being treated for one.
This may be based from
Genetics
Personal Experiences
z
Common Mental Illness for Artists
 Bipolar disorder
 Schizophrenia
 Major Depressive Disorder
 Anxiety Disorder
 ADHD (Attention Deficiency Hyperactivity Disorder)
z
Creativity vs Depression
z
What does this video tell us?
Creativity does not cause Depression, however, Depression may
trigger Creativity
>> In the film Nise: In the Heart of Darkness, we learned that art
actually was helping in establishing order and proper self
expression for the patients.

How to Take Care of Your Mental Health
z
Talk about your feelings
Talking about your feelings can help you stay in
good mental health and deal with times when you feel
troubled.
z
Keep active
Regular exercise can boost your self-esteem and can help
you concentrate, sleep, and look and feel better.
z
Eat well
What we eat may affect how we feel – for example, caffeine
and sugar can have an immediate effect.
But food can also have a long-lasting effect on your mental
health. Your brain needs a mix of nutrients in order to stay healthy
and function well, just like the other organs in your body. A diet
that’s good for your physical health is also good for your mental
health.
z
Keep in touch
Strong family ties and supportive friends can help
you deal with the stresses of life.
z
Ask for help
None of us are superhuman. We all sometimes get tired or
overwhelmed by how we feel or when things don’t go to plan.
Don’t hesitate to ask for a professional help if needed.
z
Take a break
A change of scene or a change of pace is good for your
mental health.
It could be a five-minute pause from cleaning your kitchen,
a half-hour lunch break at work, or a weekend exploring
somewhere new. A few minutes can be enough to de-stress you.
Give yourself some ‘me time’.
z
Do something you’re good at
What do you love doing? What activities can you lose yourself in? What did
you love doing in the
past?
Enjoying yourself can help beat stress. Doing an activity you enjoy probably
means you’re good at it, and achieving something boosts your self-esteem.
Concentrating on a hobby, like gardening or doing crosswords, can help you
forget your worries for a while and can change your mood.
z
Accept who you are
We’re all different. It’s much healthier to accept that you’re
unique than to wish you were more like someone else. Feeling
good about yourself boosts your confidence to learn new skills,
visit new places and make new friends. Good self-esteem helps
you cope when life takes a difficult turn.
Be proud of who you are. Recognize and accept the things
you may not be good at, but also focus on what you can do well.
z
Care for Others
Caring for others is often an important part of
keeping up relationships with people close to you. It can
even bring you closer together.
z
If you are a drinker:
Drink sensibly
We often drink alcohol to change our mood. Some
people drink to deal with fear or loneliness, but the effect
is only temporary.
When the drink wears off, you feel worse because
of the way the alcohol has affected your brain and the
rest of your body. Drinking is not a good way to manage
difficult feelings.

  • 12. z Talk about your feelings Talking about your feelings can help you stay in good mental health and deal with times when you feel troubled.
  • 13. z Keep active Regular exercise can boost your self-esteem and can help you concentrate, sleep, and look and feel better.
  • 14. z Eat well What we eat may affect how we feel – for example, caffeine and sugar can have an immediate effect. But food can also have a long-lasting effect on your mental health. Your brain needs a mix of nutrients in order to stay healthy and function well, just like the other organs in your body. A diet that’s good for your physical health is also good for your mental health.
  • 15. z Keep in touch Strong family ties and supportive friends can help you deal with the stresses of life.
  • 16. z Ask for help None of us are superhuman. We all sometimes get tired or overwhelmed by how we feel or when things don’t go to plan. Don’t hesitate to ask for a professional help if needed.
  • 17. z Take a break A change of scene or a change of pace is good for your mental health. It could be a five-minute pause from cleaning your kitchen, a half-hour lunch break at work, or a weekend exploring somewhere new. A few minutes can be enough to de-stress you. Give yourself some ‘me time’.
  • 18. z Do something you’re good at What do you love doing? What activities can you lose yourself in? What did you love doing in the past? Enjoying yourself can help beat stress. Doing an activity you enjoy probably means you’re good at it, and achieving something boosts your self-esteem. Concentrating on a hobby, like gardening or doing crosswords, can help you forget your worries for a while and can change your mood.
  • 19. z Accept who you are We’re all different. It’s much healthier to accept that you’re unique than to wish you were more like someone else. Feeling good about yourself boosts your confidence to learn new skills, visit new places and make new friends. Good self-esteem helps you cope when life takes a difficult turn. Be proud of who you are. Recognize and accept the things you may not be good at, but also focus on what you can do well.
  • 20. z Care for Others Caring for others is often an important part of keeping up relationships with people close to you. It can even bring you closer together.
  • 21. z If you are a drinker: Drink sensibly We often drink alcohol to change our mood. Some people drink to deal with fear or loneliness, but the effect is only temporary. When the drink wears off, you feel worse because of the way the alcohol has affected your brain and the rest of your body. Drinking is not a good way to manage difficult feelings.
