Christian Sampson, a 21-year-old photographer from Peru, Indiana recently launched a school project for physical illness (cancer) which ended being a powerful visual representation of mental disorders; his album shows the daily struggle of common man with unseen mental disorders.
“These were touchy subjects so I did rigorous research to make sure I depicted it accurately,” Sampson says.
Though short of funds for the project, Sampson compiled a list of mental disorders and succeeded in getting his friends to act as models. Within eight weeks, he took photos that actually matched the description of the disorders he listed.

Dear Solly, i suggest you visit psychiatrist or nearest health facility
Should not the caption for insomnia read “Sufferers of this chronic sleep disorder remain awake through the night.”? Right now it’s reading “Sufferers of this chronic sleep disorder remain asleep through the night.”
Thanks Robert, It is fixed.
Borderline Perosnality disorder is more common than schizophrenia and arguable more misunderstood. I’d love to see that one, PTSD and ADD.
We get them published dear. Thanks for visiting
