Description
Another IB Art painting for my Abnormal Psychology theme.While this one doesn't focus on a particular disorder, it portrays the symptom of extreme intrusive thoughts which occur with those with mental health problems of many kinds.
Intrusive thoughts are involuntary thoughts and ideas that are unpleasant or distressing that are not easily eliminated. While many people experience these thoughts, in mental healthy patients who suffer from disorders such as OCD, Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar these thoughts interfere with normal functioning during everyday life. Intrusive thoughts often fit into the categories of inappropriately violent, sexual, or blasphemous to personal religious beliefs.

I've been suffering from intrusive thoughts since my deployment in the Marine Corps. Glad to see this used as an artistic muse.

This is great! I love the concept and how "clouded" his mind his, and the contrast of how bold the thoughts are and how he himself is colored more subtle.
Well done!!!
