I Wrote My Way Through the Psych Ward

My name is Regina Ann Faith, and I’m a self-published author of five books. I wrote Artistic Love In The Psych Ward to creatively share my journey with mental illness and the emotions I experienced during psychiatric hospitalizations. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression since I was 18. My first hospitalization came at 25 after a breakdown at work, then again at 28 and 33—each time shaped by grief, stress, or stopping my medication. Writing became my outlet. Through fiction, I gave voice to my truth, weaving in raw emotions like anger, sadness, and forgiveness. My goal is to help others feel seen in my characters. Everyone has a story, and your voice—through writing, art, or music—can save a life. Share it.
