"Art is not always about good things.Its about who we are,what happened to us,and how our lives are affected" Elizabeth.
As times become harder and more confusing the of struggles can be worst for some facing personal battles. Seeking help can be more of a battle. However, it is important to understand that help isnt like one size fits all, it is everywhere in different form catering to each individual accoring to his needs.
For people who face depression, suicidal thoughts and other such tendencies , medical based therapies may not cater the empathetic need of the individual. Empathtic approch is highly important in this issue as it is the most sensitive and vulnerable moment of life.
Medical and clinical observations are necessary along with other theraputic activities that provide effective su***de prevention and treatment. Art therapy is a non traditional method that provides safe and secure space to connect and transfer their emotions from mind to the canvas.
Incidences of self harm are greatly present in those who experience depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Art therapy can replace self harm thoughts by engaging the individual in different art forms, like sculpture, clay formation, cooage, painting etc. This positive shift can then transcend into other concepts of socialzation and boosting self esteem.
"People who die from su***de dont want to end their lives they want to end their pain." Reach out to friends and family if you know they are suffering.
