I find your post very interesting... and am responding on behalf of my sister, who has a mental disorder. I do not.
1. Have you been professionally diagnosed with a mental disorder?:
Yes
2. If so, what disorder?:
Autism, depression, and possibly schizophrenia. I am still being tested for the latter.
3. Are you currently being treated? (Therapy, medication, etc.):
Yes. Medication, naturopathic medicines, and constantly undergoing treatment re-evaluation and modification.
4. How would you describe your art?:
Cartoon. Animal art.
5. Do you feel your art would be different without your disorder?:
No. My disorder is what enabled me to draw, even though I did so obsessively, sometimes for 10 hours without a break.
