Artist Illustrates The Realities Of Mental Health, From A(nxiety) To Z
"I'm doing everything wrong." "Everyone's laughing at me." "I think I left the door open."

A is for anxiety, which itself comes in many shapes and colors.
B is for bipolar disorder, a term still ignorantly used to describe mood swings or temper tantrums.
C is for Cotard delusion, a term for a condition that leads an individual to believe he or she is already dead or does not exist.
These are the ABCs of mental illness, thoughtfully compiled and illustrated by India-based writer, illustrator and graphic designer Sonaksha Iyengar.
Iyengar began the series as part of 36 Days of Type, a project challenging designers and illustrators to create their own takes on the letters and numbers of the alphabet, all of which respond to a singular theme. Iyengar, who has struggled with her mental health in the past, decided to focus her alphabet-based works around the still-stigmatized subject.
