For some it may be through memoir, for others poetry, or a novel. Whichever way writing down traumatic events, or psychiatric episodes, or any life experience starts the process of releasing their negative impact on our psyche, which can slowly be witnessed over the months by how a person's health improves by experiencing less anxiety and depression in their life.
