Patients at McLean Hospital Express Themselves with EDI

This image was created by a young woman being treated in a psychiatric inpatient unit at McLean Hospital. In her words: “My inspiration for this image was to show how I’ve been feeling as of late. I’ve either felt like a dark, hostile version of myself, or like an extremely faint and blurred image of my former self. Both versions were unrecognizable to me.”

The patient has since been discharged, and her clinician reports that she is progressing well in recovery.
