This article is interesting, because not only does it speak about artists who themselves have suffered from mental illness, but those who have had to cope with living along side the sufferers too - something which is often forgotten to be incredible difficult.
This includes artist Jonathan Tucker-Bull:


'The disturbing but evocative image of a sculpture spliced through with images of the artist represents Jonathan Tucker-Bull's disturbed relationship with his mother.

Her manic depression caused him to leave home at the age of just 16 and he turned to art as a form of therapy.

Now his work, Genetic Evolution forms one of a 1,000 exhibits in a new exhibition, Art Works in Mental Health, which opens at Dali Universe, County Hall Gallery, London, on Wednesday.'
