Depression Diary
Depression Diary is a short drama highlighting symptoms, attitudes and emotions of manic depression. The film focuses around an unnamed teenage girl, a familiar stranger if you will, recounting her journey through depression whilst at school, be it in an abstract, analogous way. Most of her time is spent alone in her bedroom, her world and mind getting smaller around her each day though the big world wrapped around continues to spin regardless of this beings presence. The film suggests that perhaps through reflection and increased awareness, one can become closer to overcoming this prevalent, debilitating mental state.

"We want them to develop their personalities and abilities. Art is a therapy", explains instructor Klaud Mecherlein. L'art Brut or 'Outsider Art' is art entirely free from formal artistic rules. It challenges both how we tend to view such "outsiders" in our communities and our expectations of what art should be about.

The Stockholm Solution
Is a century of psychoanalysis completely wrong? Ever since Freud, eating disorders have been considered psychiatric ailments. A revolutionary theory has turned this on its head. A Stockholm clinic is asserting that diseases such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia are not psychiatric illnesses at all, which means they require radically different treatment. In defiance of conventional medicine, the clinic offers what may well be the World's first ever cure. "This is on a par with the invention of penicillin".
