Abstract:
Art therapy is one type of the therapy which done through a creative process on the creation of a work of art as an effort to relieve the inner conflicts or repressed emotions in someone who suffers from health problem such as mental illness. The aim of this study project under the title “Painting as Self- Therapy for Mental Illness” is to create an abstract paintings based on inner experience as self-therapy for mental illness. In addition, the act of counseling routinely with a psychiatrist and drug therapy is being undertaken by the author. In this study project, the author creates a painting in an abstract-expressionistic style that is direct and spontaneous, with or without special considerations regarding the application of the visual concept of painting in his work, providing the author’s subjectivity in his work can be fulfilled absolutely. The abstract painting itself really emphasizes the expression of emotions through free strokes, line and colors which that is appropriate or suitable for art therapy medium; by using ink and acrylic paint on various types of paper such as; linen paper, recycled paper, and watercolor paper. The author also uses the direct method on painting the creative works or the paintings done by the act of spontaneously, quickly, and full of intuition with either wet or dry techniques. From the process of making this study project, the author was able to produce hundreds of works which later those selected, sorted, and arranged into a panel or an independent painting which concluded into total of 14 works with spontaneous, firm, textural, and magical line expressions. Through art therapy by working on abstract-expressionism style of painting, the author feels the psychological impact which leads into an atmosphere of happy inner-self, a relief, becomes more passionate, and a calmness which drives to organize life more optimistically, and also it is able to relieve the worries and pain that the author feels.

Examining the life stories of some productive artists; it is seen that they struggle with mental illnesses, intensely deal with the thought of death and they even commit suicide. On the other hand, we believe that art has a curative power. Art therapy is known by physicians, therapists and trainers. Art is also used in various ways for treatment. If the process of creation pulls an artist into a mental illness and thoughts about death, then how does it possibly cure? This text tries to explain the dilemma in question.

Abstract:
Background There are limitations to psychiatric classification, which affects the utility of diagnosis in general practice. Objective The aim of this article is to explore the principles of science, art and ethics to create clinically useful psychiatric diagnoses in general practice. Discussion Psychiatric classification systems provide useful constructs for clinical practice and research. Evidence-based treatments are based on the classification of mental illnesses. However, while classification is necessary, it is not sufficient to provide a full understanding of ‘what is going on’. A good psychiatric diagnosis will also include a formulation, which provides an understanding of the psychosocial factors that provide a context for illness. Experiences such as trauma and marginalisation will change the illness experience but also provide other forms of evidence that shape therapy. Diagnoses also carry ethical implications, including stigma and changes in self‑concept. The science, art and ethics of diagnosis need to be integrated to provide a complete assessment.

Abstract:
This essay describes an educator's desire to teach her nursing students that individuals with mental illness are people and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. During an informal discussion, she learned that one of her junior-level students has used art to educate nonnursing peers about the struggles that people with mental illness face every day and how to treat them with respect. The essay begins with a description of what the teacher hopes to convey to her students about people with mental illness. This is followed by a student essay that describes how she used photography to educate her nonnursing peers about the challenges that people with mental illness face, inviting them to act in ethical ways. In the end, both the teacher and the student are enlightened.

Background: Although researchers have suggested that consumer art can help reduce the stigma of mental illness, there is little evidence of the attitudes of the Japanese public towards such artwork. Material: A total of 277 Japanese visitors attending an exhibition of visual arts by people with mental illness completed a short questionnaire. Discussion: After their visit, approximately 87% of the participants reported being strongly or fairly impressed by the creative art. Word frequency analysis implied generally positive attitudes towards the works. Conclusions: The Japanese public might generally have positive and empathetic attitudes towards artwork by people with mental illness.

Abstract:
Persons with mental illness often have low self-esteem, a lack of self-expression, and poor social skills. This study used a quasi-experimental two-group pre-test-post-test design to investigate the effects of food art therapy on the self-esteem, self-expression, and social skills of persons with mental illness attending community rehabilitation facilities. The authors recruited persons with mental illness aged 18 years or older attending three community rehabilitation facilities. Participants in two rehabilitation facilities participated in food art therapy (experimental groups 1 and 2; n = 15 for each group), and participants in the third rehabilitation facility participated in regular programs of the facility (control group, n = 30). Participants in the experimental groups attended a total of eight sessions of food art therapy twice per week for four weeks. The Korean versions of the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, self-expression scale, and social skill rating system were administered at pre- and post-test in both the experimental and control groups. The self-esteem, self-expression, and social skills of the experimental group improved significantly compared to the control group. The findings suggested that food art therapy would be an excellent psychosocial intervention to help persons with mental illness to rehabilitate in the community.

Abstract:
This year we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the death of that famous cat artist, Louis Wain. It is therefore appropriate to reflect briefly on his life, his art, and in particular the rather controversial nature of his mental illness.Louis Wain was born in London in 1860, the eldest child of William, a textile traveller, and Felicia, a designer of carpets. Louis had five younger sisters. As a child he was regarded as physically weak, not starting school until the age of 10 where his academic performance was indifferent, and from which he played truant frequently. In 1877 he went to the West London School of Art, qualifying in 1880. His first job was that of an art teacher, but he needed to supplement his income from this job by doing freelance illustrations for magazines. Eventually he gave up art teaching and became a full-time illustrator, working initially with the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News.In 1884 he married Emily Richardson, a governess in the Wain household and 10 years his senior. Their happy marriage ended two years later when Emily died of breast cancer. During her illness a stray black and white kitten joined the Wain household. The kitten was named Peter and he was a great comfort to Emily in her terminal illness. While Louis sat frequently by his wife's sick bed he began drawing Peter from every possible angle. This was the first time he showed any interest in drawing cats, as prior to that he had been a general illustrator.

This study investigates two public art performances by artist Anna Schuleit in the early 2000s commemorating the life and history of two state hospitals (‘asylums’) in Massachusetts and the people who built, worked, and were patients in them. Public art is made for and sited in the public domain, outside, freely accessible, frequently collaborative, and often ephemeral. This study addresses a series of questions: What can public art ‘do’ for understanding mental illness? What use is a public art project for those living with (and caring for those who live with) mental illness? How can a public work of art sustain and portray meaning in an expressive way, open up a shared discursive space, and demand witness through embodiment?

Human beings have moved from place to place since time immemorial. The reasons for and the duration of these migrations put extraordinary stress on individuals and their families. Such stress may not be related to an increase in mental illness for all conditions or to the same extent across all migrant groups. In this paper, we provide an overview of some observations in the field of migration and mental health, hypothesise why some individuals and groups are more vulnerable to psychiatric conditions, and consider the impact of migration experiences on provision of services and care.

Abstract:
Mental Illness is a mental disorder that affects thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contrary to social norms. Mental illness can be caused by various factors such as genetics, environmental influences and caused by the influence of drugs and illegal drugs. In this influence also causes various effects that can completely affect the character of the sufferer and cause different stimuli according to the mental illness suffered. The different expressions of these stimuli tend to have a dark impression and also give an atmosphere of sadness that surrounds them, these different expressions are chosen by the author as a source of ideas in the creation of painting, with the intention that later this work can also express visually from the sufferer's perspective. mental disorders so as to add insight to the general public. This creation is done through a literature review and aesthetic experience found after direct observation. In the process of creation, this is done by making a rough sketch as a design which will later be used as the initial basis for creation into a painting.

Abstract. In 1950 in Paris, the inaugural World Conference on Psychiatry hosted an exhibit of artwork by patients, including 150 works from 22 patients of Montreal’s Dr. Ewen Cameron. This event marked the inception of a vigorous but short-lived movement in the history of psychiatry and its relationship to art – not as therapy but as a tool for diagnosis. Two theses elevated the topic to the realm of serious research; their authors became leaders in the field: Robert Volmat (1953) and Irene Jakab (1956). Identifying roots in the earlier works of Ambroise Tardieu and Hans Prinzhorn and with connections to the Art Brut movement of artist Jean Dubuffet, a group of adherents formed the Société International de la Psychopathologie de l’Expression (SIPE) in Verona, Italy, in 1959. Members sought to release the hidden diagnostic potential of patient art through research on symbols, colour, structure, and content, deriving codes that would point to specific epistemic categories of evolving psychiatric nosology. National societies also arose in many countries. The related journal Confinia Psychiatrica ( Borderland of Psychiatry) ran from 1958 to 1980. If patient art could be diagnostic, changes in it could be used to assess therapeutic progress. Perhaps for this reason, the pharmaceutical company Sandoz took a particular interest in SIPE, publishing, small collections of patient art of various diagnostic categories and scholarly analysis for distribution to practitioners. We argue that this publishing exercise was a form of corporate advertising – attractive, informative, avant-garde. This paper traces the history of Confinia and SIPE through the publications and meetings, showing how the attempt to use art for “diagnosis” evolved into the more durable process of art as therapy.

Abstract:
People with mental illness often encounter stigma and discrimination. Mental illness-related stigma and discrimination represent the enormous obstacles that stand in the way of delivering mental health care. Little is known about stigma and discrimination toward mental illness in rural Sarawak. Thus, this study aimed to identify the stigma and discrimination towards mental illness among Sarawak’s rural community and the factors affecting them. A cross-sectional survey was carried out on 840 respondent adults aged 21 and above. A validated Community Attitude towards Mental Illness (CAMI) and Discrimination towards Mental Illness questionnaire was used for data collection. A Two-way Multiple Analysis of Covariance (Two-way MANCOVA) test was carried out to determine how much gender and education level influence stigma and discrimination towards mentally ill patients. Analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference of standardised stigma and discrimination scores with education level (p<.001), but not with gender (p>.05). Age had a positive linear effect on both stigma and discrimination, whereas experience with mentally ill patients negatively affected both stigma and discrimination. Individuals with a lower level of education, older in age, and lesser experience in dealing with the mentally ill would have a higher level of stigma and discrimination towards mental illness. Thus, targeted and practical strategies need to be organised and implemented to combat mental illness-related stigma and discrimination.

Abstract:
Comorbidities, dietary supplement use, and prescription drug use may negatively (or positively) affect mental health in cardiovascular patients. Although the significance of mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, on cardiovascular disease is well documented, mental illnesses resulting from heart disease are not well studied. In this paper, we introduce the risk factors of mental illnesses as an exploratory study and develop a prediction framework for mental illness that uses comorbidities, dietary supplements, and drug usage in heart disease patients. Particularly, the data used in this study consist of the records of 68,647 patients with heart disease, including the patient’s mental illness information and the patient’s intake of dietary supplements, antibiotics, and comorbidities. Patients in age groups <61, gender differences, and drug intakes, such as Azithromycin, Clarithromycin, Vitamin B6, and Coenzyme Q10, were associated with mental illness. For predictive modeling, we consider applying various state-of-the-art machine learning techniques with tuned parameters and finally obtain the following: Depression: 78.01% accuracy, 79.13% sensitivity, 72.65% specificity, and 86.26% Area Under the Curve (AUC). Anxiety: 82.93% accuracy, 82.86% sensitivity, 83.35% specificity, and 88.45% AUC. Schizophrenia: 87.59% accuracy, 87.70% sensitivity, 85.14% specificity, and 92.73% AUC. Disease: 86.63% accuracy, 95.50% sensitivity, 77.76% specificity, and 91.59% AUC. From the results, we conclude that using heart disease information, comorbidities, dietary supplement use, and antibiotics enables us to accurately predict the mental health outcome.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of economy, politics, science, and technology and the improvement of living material level, people pay more attention to personal physical and mental development. The incidence of mental illness is on the rise. Psychological education curriculum learning and psychological counselling are based on communication; there are still many limitations. The art media enables patients to reveal their subconscious and potential emotional needs, so that interveners have the opportunity to explore these issues and build a bridge of communication with patients. In this paper, oil painting therapy of nonverbal communication is proposed as a way of psychological therapy. The patients in the psychological department of a hospital are served by six stages of therapy, each stage of treatment has different arrangements, and continuous service and treatment are adopted. Based on the art analysis principle of oil painting creation, the therapeutic experience obtained from oil painting creation and the experience gained from oil painting were divided into groups to compare the therapeutic effect and explore the role of oil painting art therapy. The results showed that the scores of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group at 4 weeks and 6 weeks after the art therapy of oil painting creation, showing a significant downward trend overall. Oil painting art therapy may alleviate anxiety, providing data support for the application of oil painting art therapy in patients with depressive episodes.

Abstract:
Mental illnesses commonly occur in the reproductive age. This study aimed to identify the issues that exist within the perinatal mental health care system. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Aichi Prefecture in central Japan. Questionnaires on the situation between 2016 and 2018 were mailed to the head physicians of 128 maternity care units, 21 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and 40 assisted reproductive technology (ART) units. A total of 82 (52.6 per 100,000 births) women were admitted to mental health care units during the perinatal period, and 158 (1.0 per 1000 births) neonates born to mothers with mental illness were admitted to NICUs. Approximately 40% of patients were hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals without maternity care units. Eighty-four (71.1%) and 76 (64.4%) maternity care units did not have psychiatrists or social workers, respectively. Moreover, 20–35% of the head physicians in private clinics, general hospitals, and ART units endorsed the discontinuation of psychotropic drug use during pregnancy. However, the corresponding figures were only 5% among those in maternal-fetal centers. Resources for perinatal mental illness might be limited. Perspectives on psychotropic drug use differed based on the type of facilities where the doctors were working.

Abstract:
Background: The finding by Lawrence, Holman and Jablensky (Duty to Care) that mortality among the mentally ill in Western Australia was 2.5 times that of the general population, seemingly, has great significance for public policy concerning the mentally ill. ‘Mortality’ could be a useful outcome measure for mental health services. Objectives: To replicate that study in the Australian Capital territory (ACT), comparing mortality rates in the mentally ill with those of the total population. Method: A list of all people who contacted the ACT mental health services between 1985 and 2000 was compiled. Using the national register of deaths (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare), persons known to the mental health services who died between 1990 and 2000 were identified and sex, date of birth, date of death, cause of death and place of death were noted. Using Australian Bureau of Statistics data for all deaths in the ACT, deaths in the total population and in the mentally ill population were tabulated for the period 1996–2000. With 1996 data as the base, using total population data from the ABS and mental health population data derived by amending ‘the list’ to remove duplications, pre1996 deaths and post1996 additions, mortality rates for the period 1996–2000 were compared. Results: The gender and age distribution of the mentally ill population and the total population, and of deaths in those populations, were very different. One third of all deaths in the mentally ill occurred outside of the ACT. Compared with the general population, mortality in the mentally ill (including deaths outside of the ACT) was only slightly excessive for ‘all causes’ and ischaemic heart disease but grossly excessive for ‘suicide’. Conclusions: This study did not confirm the excessive mortality rate in the mentally ill reported by Lawrence et al. except for suicide. Many methodological issues in using population studies to attempt to measure the size of the increase were identified. Differences in method between the ACT and WA studies probably explain the differences in results. Caution is urged in using the results of mortality studies as determinants of public policy or to evaluate services.

Abstract:
Mental health is an important part of each human entity and requires constant monitoring and care. Equally important is creativity, as a source of prosperity and a springboard for activating one's mental and emo- tional functioning. How does third age and mental health relate to creativity? We investigate the effects of creativity on the maintenance and regaining of cognitive and emotional functions and the dynamics of relationships through six different forms of art. The action is based on the implementation of a program of intervention in a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Unit (Home) for elderly people with mental health problems, which examines the possibility of developing creativity. With arts as the main core, we draw on elements of art therapy, drama therapy, and psychodrama, which have been adapted to elderly needs and possibilities. Recognizing that Gerantagogy aims at the continuous learning of elderly, there is a need to examine its connection with Neuroaesthetics field.

Abstract:
Background and Purpose: This study measured Protestant Christians’ beliefs about mental illness using the Beliefs Toward Mental Illness Scale (BMI). Methods: This study used a state-of-the-art item response theory technique, namely the Rasch rating scale model (RRSM), to evaluate the psychometric properties of the BMI and to produce a ruler of the construct hierarchy. Results: Using Messick’s framework for evaluating construct validity, sufficient evidence was obtained that suggests the BMI is psychometrically sound regarding substantive, content, structural, and generalizable aspects of validity. Conclusions: The BMI is a psychometrically sound instrument that is appropriate for measuring beliefs toward mental illness.

Abstract:
Mental illnesses among children and adolescents are on the rise and are becoming one of the prime causes of disability across the globe. Untreated or unaddressed mental health issues can extend to adulthood. They can have severe long-term physical, social and economic adverse effects, including low employment rate, lesser wages if employed, interpersonal difficulties and more legal and criminal contacts. However, the focus on preventative and promotive mental health measures has gotten rather less emphasis than the sickness side, including treatment and research on mental illnesses. Resilience and positive well-being are protective against developing mental illnesses and improving courses for those who have developed such issues. Resilience can be enhanced by adopting a healthy lifestyle, music, and other art forms as a recreational activity, limiting screen use and having good social support. Various school-based programs are being developed and tested, targeting positive mental well-being and resilience in children and adolescents. A few of them discussed in this review are life skill education, PAX good behavior games, source of strength, Zippy’s Friends, You Can Do It!, and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). The responsive advocacy for life and learning in youth (RALLY). Despite these, more investments should be directed towards the prevention of illness and promotion of mental well-being than mere treatment and rehabilitation a ARTICLE INFO fter an illness.

Abstract:
The DSM V will probably include four categories of eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and eating disorder not otherwise specified. The lifetime prevalence is about 5%. Cultural, social and interpersonal elements can trigger the onset and changes in neural networks can sustain the illness. Brain based explanatory models have been developed which include an imbalance between top down control and hedonic and homeostatic elements. The longer the duration of untreated illness the harder it is to reverse the illness as a variety of maintaining factors develop. CBT remains the treatment of choice for bulimia nervosa but there is more uncertainty about treatment for anorexia nervosa although treatment with a focus on the interpersonal elements is of value

Abstract:
Furthering social inclusion for marginalised members of society demands advocacy efforts focussed on holistic citizenship. Harnessing compassion, the arts can activate four component elements: narratives, actual stories and voices of members of a society; encounters, opportunities for dialogue among members of a society; reflection, values clarification and self-awareness and community, spaces that allow for creative engagement. This theoretical framework is demonstrated in an 18-month campaign designed to promote social inclusion by decreasing stigma and increasing public awareness of people living with mental illness in Hong Kong. The programme utilised an art exhibition created by people living with mental illness, guided relational viewing art-making workshops for the general public, and collaborative art-making opportunities. Integrating compassion and the arts into the citizenship framework provided participants with opportunities to engage with one another, clarify misconceptions and arrive at meaningful social policy programmatic initiatives.

Abstract:
IntroductionMental health issues and illnesses are associated with poor self-care and unhealthy lifestyles that contribute to morbidity, mortality and overall decrease in quality of life when compared to the general population. Healthy lifestyle promotion is infrequently considered a priority in mental healthcare services, especially in acute psychiatric inpatient units.ObjectivesTo present a healthy lifestyles promotion programme implemented in an acute psychiatric inpatient unit.AimsTo reflect on how to design an adequate programme for patients with complex needs.MethodsIn a general psychiatric inpatient unit, a team of two psychologists and one psychiatrist, ventured to introduce weekly activities that included drawing, colouring, painting, crafts and games, that provided a context for patients and the team to sit down together or to gradually “drift” together and make possible conversations focusing on tobacco smoking, caffeine consumption, weight control, physical activity and health promoting activities.ResultsInstead of individual or group psychoeducation talk interventions, play and art strategies, in closer proximity with the patients, made it far easier to engage difficult patients and made psychoeducation possible and fun.ConclusionsPatients with severe mental illness are frequently reluctant to engage in activities targeting healthy lifestyles, especially in acute psychiatric inpatient units, when insight and motivation for change may be low due to illness and consequences of illness. Play and art therapy interventions led by a team of mental healthcare professionals who participate directly with the patients, may be an innovative, more effective and enjoyable strategy.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
Purpose: Social media, particularly Twitter, provides a venue for individuals to share their thoughts. The public's perception of mental illnesses is often debated on Twitter. So yet, no evaluation of community tweets connected to data on mental health conditions has been performed. The purpose of this study is to examine tweets linked to mental illnesses in Indonesia in order to identify the themes of conversation and the polarity trends of these tweets.Design/methodology/approach: To address this issue, the K-Means Clustering algorithm is utilized to aggregate tweet data that is used to find themes of conversation. The emotion polarity value of each cluster result was then determined using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach.Findings/results: This study generated five topic clusters based on tweets about mental illness. While sentiment analysis revealed that all clusters had more negative sentiment classes than positive. Cluster 4 and Cluster 5 had the highest number of negative sentiment values. These clusters emphasize the necessity of consulting with psychiatrists and psychologists if people have mental health disorders, as well as financing for mental health disorder treatment through BPJS Kesehatan services.Originality/value/state of the art: The analysis was done in two stages: data grouping to find themes of conversation using K-Means clustering and SVM to look for positive and negative polarity values associated to twitter data about mental illness.

Art reception is a complex process influenced by many factors, both internal and external. A review of the literature shows that knowledge about the artist, including their mental health, has an impact on the general assessment of their artwork. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between knowledge about the artist’s mental illness and the perception of the artwork. We focused on the subjective emotional experience and general assessment of ten specific pictures painted by patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. The research followed four cohorts (two groups divided into two subgroups—art experts and laypeople) of students for over a month. The results revealed significant differences between the two general groups as well as between the ‘expert’ and ‘laypeople’ groups. The findings showed that non-aesthetic categories (e.g., knowledge about the mental illness of an artist) were related to artwork perception and support a holistic and dynamic approach to aesthetic emotions.

Abstract:
Although black metal would reach international notoriety with the actions of Varg Vikernes, who murdered his friend and fellow musician Øystein ‘Euronymous’ Aarseth in 1993, the foundation of the genre’s violent, misanthropic image was set several years earlier by the Swedish vocalist of Mayhem, Per ‘Dead’ Ohlin, whose onstage penchant for self-harm and eventual gruesome suicide earned him almost mythical status within the realm of metal music. The fact that Dead’s influence on metal music has remained so strong in the 30 years following his suicide has significant artistic implications, especially considering that he never managed to record a studio album with his band. Although Dead’s suicide colours his self-harm with obvious elements of mental illness and trauma, his role as an artist warrants a deeper analysis of his onstage theatrics, viewing them from the perspective of intense devotion to his art. By reading Dead’s artistic endeavours within the context of performance art involving self-harm, his actions become an aesthetic expression of that pain, which, when combined with the atmosphere of the music and his lyrics, creates an intense portrait of Dead’s quest for an expressive outlet in his performance. Dead’s self-inflicted performative violence echoes the work of pioneering artists such as Chris Burden, Yoko Ono and Marina Abramovic, and although Dead undoubtedly suffered from serious mental illness, viewing his self-harm alongside other visceral artistic expressions of pain and trauma helps refigure his aesthetic contributions to black metal as a unique synthesis of destruction and creation.

Abstract:
SUMMARYAims - To examine earlier uses and abuses of artworks by individuals living with severe mental illnesses, and particularly schizophrenia by both the psychiatric and arts communities and prevailing stereotypes associated with such practices. Further, to explore alternative constructions of the artworks and roles of the artist with schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses, which may be more consistent with amore contemporary recovery orientation, encompassing their potentials for empowerment, social inclusion as citizens and legitimacy of their cultural role in the community. Results - Earlier practices with regardto the artworks of captive patients of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, art therapists, occupational and diversional therapists, often emphasised diagnostic or interpretive purposes, or were used to gauge progress or exemplify particular syndromes. As artists and art historians began to take an interest in such artworks, they emphasised their expressive, communicative and aesthetic aspects, sometimes in relation to primitive art. These efforts to ascribe value to these works, while well-meaning, were sometimes patronising and vulnerable to perversion by totalitarian regimes, which portrayed them as degenerate art, often alongside the works of mainstream modernist artists. This has culminated in revelations that the most prominent European collection of psychiatric art still contains, and appears to have only started to acknowledge since these revelations, unattributed works by hospital patients who were exterminated in the so-called “euthanasia” program in the Nazi era. Conclusions - Terms like Psychiatric Art, Art Therapy, Art Brut and Outsider Art may be vulnerable to abuse and are a poor fit with the aspirations of artists living with severe mental illnesses, who are increasingly exercising their rights to live and work freely, without being captive, or having others controlling their lives, or mediating and interpreting their works. They sometimes do not mind living voluntarily marginal lives as artists, but they prefer to live as citizens, without being involuntarily marginalised by stigma. They also prefer to live with culturally valued roles which are recognised as legitimate in the community, where they are also more likely to heal and recover.Declaration of Interest: This paper was completed during a Visiting Fellowship, Department of Social Medicine, School of Public Health, & Department of Medical Anthropology, Faculty of Arts & Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass, USA.

Abstract:
Purpose of the article: Globally, an estimated 4.2 million people above the age of 50 now have diagnosis of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. Patients with HIV can now survive well into old age. Aging with HIV has been associated with medical illness however neuropsychiatric symptoms including cognitive decline and behavioral dysregulation has been directly associated with aging and having HIV. The article will talk about common neuropsychiatric diagnosis with HIV and discuss some interventions that may be used for successful aging with HIV. Findings: A detailed literature review using indexed peer reviewed literature using databases such as Medline, PubMed and Cochrane reviews show that untreated HIV illness over a long period of time can both cause both cognitive and behavioral changes as well as precipitate underlying existing illnesses. All providers are encouraged to begin treatment with Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). Early screening for both behavioral and cognitive disorders is encouraged and timely referrals to mental health professionals is of utmost importance. Conclusion: Persons with HIV now have increased longevity given newer and more innovative treatment with anti-retroviral treatment (ART). However, persons with HIV are at increased risk for both neurological and psychiatric illness. Early detection, assessment and treatment are key to ensure aging successfully. A collaborative multidisciplinary team comprising of individuals from infectious diseases, mental health, social work and nursing is essential for optimal neuropsychiatric health in older persons with HIV.
