There are plently of artists whose mental health struggles were shown through their work, Edvard Munch was just one of them, his painting "the scream" is very emotionally provovative. Van Gogh also had a blue period that represented his struggles.
See Frances Bacon, he did drawings, paintings, realism, surrealism and more.
Richard Dadd might be worth looking at.
