The document discusses the rise of data science and data artists. It explores how data professionals use coding, statistics, visualization, and communication or exploration skills. Another section summarizes the history of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and how it has evolved over multiple editions. Motivations for changes to the DSM are outlined, including the impact of terminology on understanding mental health. Some challenges around defining disorders, diagnosis, and treatment effectiveness are also presented. Two potential projects are described: visualizing the information in the DSM and redesigning it through an online healthcare community platform.

Graphic Medicine: Past, Present, Future (#GM2019)Matthew Noe
Slides from my plenary presentation at the close of Graphic Medicine 2019 in Brighton, England. In the presentation, I asked attendees to reflect on the conference theme of que(e)rying the field and explored how we got to where we are and what the future may hold. I hoped to spark ongoing discussion and pressure to diversify the voices being heard - at conferences, in classrooms, in published works, and beyond.
NOTE: I know there are fields missing from the list on slide 20. If you notice one missing, email me.
This presentation exposes what is mental health with statistics that will open your eyes that this issue might be closer to home thank you think!
