These 11 Photographers Are Challenging the Mental Health Stigma
By Ellyn Kail on May 27, 2021
One in five US adults experiences mental illness each year. I happen to be one of them. At least 8.4 million Americans provide care to an adult with an emotional or mental illness, and depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. May is Mental Health Month, so this year, we took the opportunity to revisit some of the stories we’ve run on this complex subject.
These artists have explored mental health in different ways through a variety of media, from documentary photography to mixed-media collage. Some have documented their personal experiences, while others have collaborated with loved ones as they navigated mental health issues. Still more collaborated with mental health organizations and refuge centers to help bring unforgettable stories to light. While their experiences are unique, each one of them serves as a reminder of the importance of sharing our stories and listen

Depicting The Invisible: Portraits of Veterans Suffering From PTSD shares the experiences of Veterans with more than a dozen six-foot by six-foot works on canvas. Each one combines a photograph, paint, collage, and text to tell the story. Previously on display in New York, Florida, Washington D.C., and Tennessee, the exhibition opens Saturday April 3 at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus. Artist Susan J. Barron spent two years collecting the stories of Veterans, but she almost walked away from the project when tragedy struck.
Credit Susan J. Barron It was a Veteran named Damon Zeigler and right before the show was to open in New York, I got a call from his mother that he committed suicide, Barron said. That was a very dark time for me. The other Veterans reached out to me and said - you can t walk away, this is why you are doing this project because this happens 22 times every day. This is just the first time you knew somebody that this happened to.
