Mentally disturbed people? artwork and journals?

Question

main question (there's probably a lot of stuff u dont rly care about):

where can i see the artwork of mentally disturbed people?

well, i've always been interested in how the human mind works, i have a baby sister who is a lot younger than me, the age difference is really big and she's cute and all, but i often wonder a lot about her. she's not abnormal or anything, a normal baby, but im really interested in the development of the human mind too. well anyway, ive also become interested in mentally disturbed people. i know they have a books on it and stuff, but 'patients' and disturbed people in general have journals or more specifically what im interested in is their artwork. i love drawing and art, and im interested in the human mind as i said, so i want to look into it. i know a lot of patients/abnormal people do a lot of drawings or paintings or pastels. where can i see these artworks?

Answer 1

You might want to look up 'savants' they tend to have different wiring than the rest of us.People with ordinary minds are called "neurotypical" but I don't think anyone is neurotypical....we are all mentally disturbed.  

Answer 2

I don't know that you can. Lots of disturbed people don't realize they're disturbed so they aren't going to post it on some psychological journal's website.

Answer 3

Answer 4

The subject you are searching for is called 'art therapy.' Sometimes hospitals actually display works of their patients in the corridors of their hospitals. A reference librarian should be able to help you find books on the subject.
