This project was all about mental disorders, their symptoms, and their cures. First, we chose a mental disorder to study with our partners. My partner and I chose sleep paralysis. Then, we researched our disorder and wrote a case report about it. In art, we painted a piece that involved the disorder. Later, we wrote a creative fiction story about the disorder. In our exhibition, we did art therapy with guests and taught them about our disorder. This was a creative way to teach others what we learned.
In this project, I learned a lot of new things about mental disorders. The disorder that I chose, sleep paralysis, was something that I had heard of before. I learned about the chemicals in the brain that cause it and how people who suffer from it can get help. I also learned about other people mental disorders, which was interesting in its own way. While talking about my disorder with people I know, I discovered that several people I knew had experience it before, but never really thought about it.
I thought our exhibition was very interesting. I liked having the opportunity to talk to other people about the topic I had researched for weeks. I think that the people who were talking to me were very interested in the topic as well. I don't think that I really got the chance to talk to as many people as I would have liked, though. In addition, there were many people who probably would wanted to have asked about my topic, but couldn't because they weren't assigned to it. I also don't think the way the room was set up was very aesthetically pleasing or consistent. Next time, I think we should spend more time making our environment look nice so that guests feel intrigued.
