Sufferers of Various Medical Conditions May Potentially Find Therapy in Coloring Books

(Newswire.net — February 20, 2017) Wilmington, DELAWARE — There are many people who are suffering from a variety of medical conditions today. While there are surgeries and pharmaceutical drugs available, there are also certain activities believed to be helpful for the psychological aspect of dealing with a disease.

Sufferers of various medical conditions may potentially find therapy in adult coloring books. Coloring has long been a pastime or hobby linked with children. However, it seems that it has recently found a new demographic.

Adult coloring books have become an international trend. As a matter of fact, this type of book has been considered as one of the best sellers in many bookshops worldwide.

While art is not capable of curing people from diseases, it has a high potential to make coping easier for many. Individuals who struggle and are having difficulties dealing with feelings that they can’t put into words may turn to adult coloring books.

A music therapist at Drexel University in Philadelphia reveals that individuals with cancer normally feel that their body has been conquered or controlled by the condition they are suffering from. Therapeutic coloring books are not just for individuals with cancer, but may also be helpful to individuals with dementia, depression, PTSD, and anxiety.

Donna Betts, President of the Board of the American Art Therapy Association, states that there is a difference between listening to music and learning how to play a musical instrument. Playing may require a particular skill set, but listening is easy and almost anyone can do it.

Therapeutic coloring is often equated to listening to music. It is easy to do, may be therapeutic, and it is something that people can do mindlessly. These are some of the reasons why enthusiasts feel the entire coloring process may be extremely therapeutic.

According to Dr. Stan Rodski, a neuropsychologist who is an author of his very own line of adult coloring books, coloring has the ability to promote a relaxing mindset. Its effects can even be compared to the benefits offered by meditation.

It is believed that coloring helps people switch off their brains from other thoughts so that they can just focus on the moment. It may offer a calming effect, especially to individuals who are suffering from certain medical conditions.

There are indeed many people who are suffering from certain medical conditions that use coloring books for adults. However, these books may also be helpful even to healthy individuals.

These therapeutic coloring books can be colored through the use of Tadkin’s Ultimate Gel Pen Collection, which has a variety of pens to offer. This set has 100 pens with 100 different colors.
