The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam this week authenticated a self-portrait by Vincent Van Gogh, said to be the only work he painted while he had psychosis. In this segment, we speak with Su Mei, an art therapist who’s also part of My Kolektif, and look at how art and mental health come together. 

If you need emotional support, you can call Befrienders at 603-79568145 or email sam@befrienders.org.my.
