  • The January 12, 2010 earthquake destroyed most of Haiti cities, however a more quiet wreckage remains in the minds of those suffering from mental illness. Before the quake which killed hundreds of thousands, the Mars and Kline Psychiatric Center housed approximately 110 patients in Port-au-Prince's only psychiatric hospital. After the quake many family members removed their loved ones form the hospital for fear it may collapse. There remained about a dozen patients who now living in substandard conditions. Sleeping on bare concrete floors with urine and feces. Some men are nude, walking about a barren courtyard, some remain in small cells behind rusty steel doors secured with padlocks. Some men bang and rattle the steel doors, some sit quietly and huddle in a corner with flies on their faces, staring off into the distance.

  • Near a section of the levee wall, where the homeless gather for their daily evening meal delivered by volunteers and churches, in the French Quarter, Sean Daigle, 22, talks about living with being bi-polar and today has just jut gotten an apartment, taking him off the streets where he has lived, in New Orleans, La., Friday, June 19, 2009. Sean says he's been in and out of jails and the system since a very young age: "been in and out of the jails and the system since very young age. The system down here really doesn't help out at all, its either end up in the hospital for the rest of your life, or dead. You just don't know yourself no more cause you're full of medicine. I was diagnosed with bi-polar and PTSD after I got out of the Army. The VA really hasn't helped out either, they put me in the nut house, actually they put me in like three or four of them, one after another."

  • A patient playfully tries on a wig and other costumes in a workshop room dedicated to the Loucura Suburbana (Suburban Madness) program at the Instituto Municipal Nise da Silveira, a psychiatric center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tuesday, July 22, 2014. At the Instituto Municipal Nise da Silveira in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, patients take part in programs of theatre, music and artwork, to name just a few, as a method of therapy and rehabilitation. These programs of creativity, compassion and culture were created in the 1940’s by the late Dr. Nise da Silveira who chose to use creativity to treat  psychiatric patients as opposed to more traditional ways such as electroshock treatment and lobotomies. As an example of her more organic method, Dr. Silveira wanted to get in touch with a Schizophrenic patient’s inner world, connecting with them, understanding their pain and trying to improve their living conditions. In 1952 Dr. Silveira founded the Museum of Images of the Unconscious, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a study and research center that collected the works produced in painting, drawing and modeling studios. One of the programs at the psychiatric center is the Hotel da Loucura, or Madness Hotel, where some of the patients live in dorm style rooms with tourists who come to volunteer as creative tutors and participate in the theatre, music and art programs for short periods of time. The center also has a program of music and dance called Loucura Suburbana or Suburban Madness which participates as a bloc in the annual Carnaval parade in Rio de Janeiro.
