Rising Above the Darkness
My senior thesis was based on finding alternatives to antidepressants. I found meditation to be the best natural solution because it develops a lasting positive change in one’s mental state. This booklet walks the reader through my careful examination of the rise of mental illness and the overprescription of psychoactive drugs. A lot of the imagery in the book documents my own personal connections with anxiety. The illustrations were created using the process of printmaking. Displaying a transformation as I find a coping mechanism that reduces stress and increases positive well being.
