According to WHO, Health Literacy is "being able to access, understand, appraise and use information and services in ways that promote and maintain good health and well-being". Health literacy can help us be better equipped to talk to professionals, speak up for ourselves and others, and see better outcomes from healthcare.

The Silent Agony of 24/7 Chronic Pain: PainSyndrome
A glimpse into the BasBaz darkness.
This time-lapse captures 'PainSyndrome'. A girl's face emerges from behind a wall, eyes down in fear. Chronic pain grips her 24/7, a ceaseless agony until the body screams and bleeds. Yet, unseen by all, her pain is hers alone.

Monochrome Decay & The Broken Frame: Obsessive_Compulsive_Disorder_2

A glimpse into the BasBaz darkness.
This time-lapse captures

'Obsessive_Compulsive_Disorder_2'. A sequel sharing the same core concept: a man breaking free from the frame and his own skull. Unlike the previous colorful version, this one uses a stark palette of black, brown, and gray. The obsession is depicted in muted, desolate tones.

The Broken Frame & The Exposed Mind: Obsessive_Compulsive_Disorder

A glimpse into the BasBaz darkness.
This time-lapse captures

'Obsessive_Compulsive_Disorder'. With a dark, comic-book aesthetic, the figure violently breaks the frame society imposes. It portrays a man overwhelmed by his own mind, his gaze fearful yet lost. The shattering of the skull leaves the brain exposed to the harsh elements of life and societal pressure.

Thinking of this comic I made with Dr. Meredith Van Natta (UC Merced) on 'Medical Legal Violence'

Sadly still very relevant, with healthcare being cut to fund immigration raids. Nobody should be forced to make these choices. 😢

This is simply gorgeous work: Giant, by Mollie Ray, who was tagged as one of the emerging indie comics talents to watch for by Broken Frontier (a top UK site covering Indie comics).

It is entirely wordless, the emotional story of a family dealing with illness is carried purely by the artwork, layout & framing (also making it ideal for anyone with dyslexia or reading problems).

I strongly suspect I will be adding this one to my own collection...
