Specific Applications Of Art Therapy
Providing support for mental health through creative expression.
Anxiety
Anxiety is an emotional state that can cause feelings of fear, dread, or unease. It can be a normal response to stress or feeling threatened. However, anxiety can become a problem if it's excessive or hard to control.
Depression
Depression is a mental health condition that involves persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. It can affect how you think, feel, and behave. Depression can be a serious condition that can lead to suicide.
Bereavement
Grief is a natural response to loss, such as the death of a loved one. It can also occur after a serious illness, divorce, or other significant loss. Grief can be a very emotional experience that can impact your mental and physical health.
Neurodiversity
The term neurodiversity describes differences in the way people's brains work. The idea is that there's no “correct” way for the brain to work. Instead, there is a wide range of ways that people perceive and respond to the world, with varying strengths and weaknesses.
Eating disorders
An eating disorder is a mental health condition where you use the control of food to cope with feelings and other situations.
Unhealthy eating behaviours may include eating too much or too little or worrying about your weight or body shape.
Anyone can get an eating disorder, but teenagers and young adults are mostly affected.
With treatment, most people can recover from an eating disorder.
Acute stress disorder
Acute stress disorder (ASD) is a short-term mental health condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. Symptoms include anxiety, fear, flashbacks, and avoidance.
Abuse
The term "abuse" refers to any behavior that intentionally harms another person's psychological well-being through actions like verbal attacks, manipulation, intimidation, threats, humiliation, or controlling behaviors, causing significant mental distress and often impacting self-esteem and overall mental health; essentially, it's a form of psychological or emotional abuse aimed at controlling someone through non-physical means.
Daily challenges
Mental health challenges can arise from life stressors and can impact your relationships, work, and finances. A daily mental health challenge can be any difficulty that impacts how someone thinks, feels, or behaves. This could include stress, anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder.
Trauma
"trauma" refers to a lasting emotional response resulting from a deeply distressing or overwhelming event that exceeds a person's ability to cope, often leading to a disruption in their sense of safety and well-being, and impacting their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors long after the event occurred; examples of traumatic events include physical or sexual assault, natural disasters, accidents, war, or witnessing violence.
PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.
