The 'expression of depression' anthologies arose from a journal and pad of art therapy pictures recorded during a stint in rehab. The idea was to collate similar pieces from as many writers and artists as possible; the desire was to provide empathy and inspiration for anyone going through a similar experience of isolation and mental struggle. 'Brainstorms' is the second volume in a series of six and contains work contributed by Melvin Burgess, Sadie Frost, Clint Catalyst, Nina Antonia and Todd Swift.
