I am a physics student who loves to draw space illustrations and I am also interested in psychology.
I suddenly come up with the idea of matching my drawings with psychological illnesses. I hope you will find them reasonable.

Depression
I can really relate to this, it describes depression so well. It feels like the world is weighing you down.
Burnout Syndrome
Dissociative Personality Disorder
Generalized Anxiety
Antisocial Personality Disorder
Paranoid Schizophrenia
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
The more you look at this and think about it the more powerful it becomes, especially as a sufferer of this awful condition.
Schizoid Personality Disorder
Histrionic Personality Disorder
This in an interestingly under diagnosed condition. There are many celebrities who definitely suffer from this condition and everyone knows at least one person with the signs. It must be really tough and lonely to have though I can imagine.
Mania
Totally laughing here. Guess I'm recognizing myself. Or something. Nah, couldn't be!
Dependent Personality Disorder
Catatonic Schizophrenia
Phobias
It frightens me to see how perfectly you were able to represent these mental illnesses. I am in love with your style of drawing, I aspire to that too one day. All I can say is, I wish you'd made a small description of what the mental illnesses consist of. I think it will raise more awareness. I hope I see more of your posts around!!
These are very true, and I always try to capture depression and anxiety in drawings, but these are very powerful. These are very true, and make me really think about the mental illnesses that people try to hide, like how I hide depression. But I think there's nothing to hide. Embrace your disorder, make the best out of it. Keep pushing, you got this :D
As many already commented - they are really good. You should sell them as prints (and if you are doing that already, please link). Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your comment :) unfortunately there is no link but I sell prints to people who contact me personally (via facebook or instagram)
Load More Replies...These are one of the best examples of these type of mental illness artworks I've seen. Really deep and thought provoking.
I can't say I can relate to all of them, but I can definitely relate to a few. This is a great way for us to imagine what it must be like for individuals with mental illnesses that are not personal to us. It makes me feel deeply for them. I've always said I can't imagine what it must feel like to have ".....," but now I can.
Powerful and effective. I'm glad I came to look. (Physics + Pysch + Art ... mmm - sounds like someone I see in the mirror every day. I'f you're curious, Cem, about a hypothesis that proposes that naturally occurring 'invert-gravity' is the cause of supernovas, get back to me. (Linked to the Burkhard Heim idea.))
Despite not having those disorders I can understand most of them, your art is amazing!!
I don't really get most of these, even though I am pretty familiar with psychology.
