Art by People living with Psychosis (podcast)
ABC Australia has published this "Podcast":
For some individuals living with psychosis art-making becomes an act of necessity, a way to bring coherence to experiences that threaten to overwhelm. We meet an artist whose hallucinatory episodes serve as inspiration for paintings and drawings as we learn about the fascinating history of 'Outsider Art'.

Thank you for this web site…
I was diagnose with paranoid schizophrenia several years back, and only now am I able to used art as a way to deal with the depression and anger…I personally belief that Abstract Art is the perfect medium for this mental illness. Please note: that the New York Times Newspaper did story about my life...the article was not the complete story, but it did give a little part of the history with this disorder.
