A Dundee art student is using his own experience to try to change the way mental illness is treated in the UK.

Drew Walker's exhibition at the Duncan of Jordanstone Art College explores the healing power of art.

The display focuses on how people with mental health conditions can benefit from art and includes work by medical professionals, patients and artists.

When Drew was 20 he was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and later Asperger's syndrome.

Drew said: "Art can restore self-esteem and self-confidence, and reduce feelings of isolation and exclusion, but art and mental illness rarely cross boundaries in ways where patients and doctors participate together and share the creative process."
