"The drug is chemically assist the recovery of brain cells. As for psychotherapy, such as art therapy, are needed to give substance to think positive, "says psychiatrist Margarita M Maramis School of Medicine, Airlangga University, Surabaya, last July, in a seminar on bipolar disorder in Jakarta.
Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder characterized by changes in mood (feeling), thought, energy and behavior. That's different from schizophrenia, which, according to Margarita is also a brain disorder, but rather affect the content of thought, such as the presence of hallucinations, illusions, and delusions.
In principle, bipolar and schizophrenia require pharmacotherapy and nonfarmakoterapi. Aka pharmacotherapy drug is administered by a psychiatrist.
The nonfarmakoterapi done through psychotherapy and psikoedukasi. Psychotherapy is the provision of certain activities, while raising awareness psikoedukasi patients to cope with illness and reduce stigma interference.
"Both are beneficial for the patient to understand the best way in touch with family, friends, and society in shaping their lives," says Margarita.
Balance
Clinical psychologist at the University of Monty Prawiratirta Satiadarma Tarumanagara, Jakarta, said life requires balance channel. Art therapy is one of the channels. "Fantasy schizophrenic or bipolar incredible. Line art most able to accommodate, "said Monty.
He said art therapy is an important part of health care, but in Indonesia is still a little run.
Art as an activity for self-expression or experience. "To run art therapy, diagnostic capabilities are very important," he said.
Three-dimensional art form more appropriately applied to those diagnosed with mental disorders and motor. Fine art three-dimensional sculpture with clay or dough paper (paper clay).
Diagnostics can be done by observing the results of the two-dimensional paintings. For example, people with drawing shapes devil because the devil has a picture in his mind.
"With art therapy, we encourage people to change the contents of the mind, in which the image is converted into angels devils," he said.
Inclusive arts
In discussions Indonesian Street Art Database, the end of July, two speakers, and Hana Khairani Barokka Alfikih, discuss art therapy and its relation to disability.
As an arts advocate inclusive, Khairani explained, art therapy change the state of a person of the poor better. "As graffiti art (street art) to confide to become self-healing activities (self-healing)," he said.
Khairani states, very few educational psychology which include art therapy for people with disabilities. Government programs are not enough for the development of art therapy.
Hana said, art became an important part of childhood, especially when he suffered hallucinations that cause a variety of disorders, such as suicide and fear of hallucinations.
Of psychiatrists, continued Hana, he knew he had schizophrenia. "I was terrified at the time with the beat doodle wall in the room," he said.
Suicidal behavior can be she muffled despite hurting yourself. Hurt yourself Hana was later expressed by tattooing several parts of his body, especially his left arm.
"Tattoos are done for 11 times. Not for beauty, but rather arises when there is a desire to hurt yourself, "he said.
Tattooing the skin is not part of the art therapy. According to Monty, the method transfers the pain by moving a projection screen into a canvas body.
"When the tattoo was to hurt myself, which needs to be seen, why the urge to hurt yourself?" Said Monty.
The lack of development of art therapy can be seen from the agenda that the government is insensitive to the function of art. The government prefers cognitive issues and religious issues.
"We are also well experienced denaturalisasi dehumanization," said Monty.
In general, the art of prioritizing their beauty and have affective or loving way. Art also bring people closer to nature. Art as a bridge between the outside world and the world of the (inner).
Abandonment cause dehumanization of art, which is more degrading treatment or human values, as well denaturalisasi, which was evident by the destruction of nature by human effort.
