In the current society where the pressure and burden put on our shoulders are becoming bigger and bigger, mental health problems are inevitably happening to many of us. And it is no longer an embarrassing topic. We have World Mental Health Day, Mental Health Awareness Month, and many other programs that are trying to reach out and offer help to millions of people suffering from this issue every day.
Contributing to this movement is Matilda, an artist from Sweden. Matilda has been creating colorful illustrations depicting the feelings of having anxiety and depression, two typical types of mental health issues. Through her illustrations, Matilda aims to empathize, support, and raise awareness of mental health problems.
We have compiled 30 most influential illustrations by Matilda that could help you understand and facilitate your knowledge of mental health issues.
