Using Architecture To Explain 16 Mental Illnesses And Disorders

I was thinking the same it's often overlooked

I agree. When I saw the title of this page, I immediately thought "ooh, I wonder what the BPD drawing will look like" and was quite disappointed when I got to the end and there wasn't one :(

Half the house has roses everywhere, the other half knives. In the middle is a throne.

Yes as I suffer from BPD I would have liked it acknowledged

BPD would be a house propped up on scaffolding and only half finished because someone tried to start from the middle and work outwards then realised how hard it would be and didn't have the motivation to continue.

Agree was annoyed that dementia etc is there but no eubpd

BPD is an Attachment Disorder. If you want metaphors - which we believe are useless and distracting - architectural ones, how about: tho definite structure, no retaining walls, any stress threatens total collapse.

good luck in designing a home representing histrionic inhabitants--one of the most difficult populations to categorize.

I was waiting for it

becasue BPD is a personality disorder, and, it is not as yet agreed that personality disorders are defined as a mental illness.

It was but then he took a knife to it!

It's often impossible to overlook.

bpd is covered under disassociative disorders

Anyones view on anything is subjective 😕

I disagree, there are real experiences that people subjectively view, translate and churn out like translating a mental illness is some form of art. And as a person who struggles with bipolar, i find things like this represent the misunderstanding more than the illness themselves. The only positive i can derive from it is that it gets people talking about it.

agree! because I don't get it

my sentiments also. I like the effort though.
