One of the now-accepted methods of reducing stress,
anxiety and other mental disorders is to doodle. This art
therapy method requires no training or special skill. Everyone can
do it; indeed, we all doodled as youngsters. It requires little more
than drawing a bundle of lines on a piece of paper with a pencil
and then developing it by making changes that start to give it an
appearance that looks more artistic. One can start with a subject
on the mind before trying to commit to paper. One becomes
immersed in the process as it develops thereby taking the mind
off a worrying mode. Many become very absorbed in this activity,
and that's when it really becomes strong therapy. The author has
strong bipolar disorder; doodling has greatly helped in relieving
the downs, and this is especially true when in 2020 the Covid-19
pandemic made the depressed state even worse. The production
of doodles during the lockdown years was surprisingly high with
an average of a new one every second or third day. The author
hopes readers will like the doodles and attempt to draw some
themselves when feeling down.
