Abstract: This study discusses the interface between graphic design and mental health and points out the need for therapeutic approaches that integrate visual design elements into mental health interventions. Although graphic design seems promising in improving emotional regulation and cognitive functioning, its potential within mental health treatment is under-investigated. The literature review’s goal is to evaluate graphic design’s effects on mental well-being and cognitive processes. This analysis also revealed that design elements, texture, and composition can help express emotions, induce relaxation, improve focus, and increase concentration. It was suggested that the inclusion of graphic design in treating mental disorders could bring better results, especially for patients suffering from anxiety and stress. Such findings are supported by other therapies involving non-verbal communication, such as art, through which a person can express their feelings when faced with barriers to verbal expression. The implications of this study further suggest that graphic design may be a valuable tool for mental health professionals in clinical settings to increase patient engagement and elicit emotional experiences. Further research across disciplinary boundaries will be required to fully articulate the cognitive and affective benefits of graphic design in treatment and establish practical clinical use guidelines.
