Psychiatric Tales #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together eleven graphic stories that explore various aspects of mental illness, drawing from creator Darryl Cunningham's experiences working in psychiatric care. The book covers topics such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and the stigma surrounding mental health, presented in a clear, accessible comic format. Originally serialized on Cunningham's blog, these stories aim to educate and foster empathy through personal narratives and factual explanations.
"Dementia Ward" is a powerful, personal story from Darryl Cunningham, who draws from his own time as a mental health nurse to explore the complexities of care and connection. Written and illustrated entirely by Cunningham, the comic finds its voice in the quiet moments between patients and staff, shaped by the influence of Persepolis and the courage it took to tell this story in pictures. The cover, also by Cunningham, captures the intimate, observational tone of the narrative.
In "Darkness," Darryl shares the quiet, haunting struggle of a fellow patient grappling with depression, offering a raw glimpse into a mind often misunderstood. The story captures the isolation of inner turmoil and the difficulty of making that pain visible to others.
In "Anti-Social Personality Disorder," Darryl shares a quiet, revealing encounter with a patient whose experience challenges the sensationalized image of the disorder. The story offers a thoughtful look at mental health through a personal, grounded narrative.
