Modern art has often been accused of being meaningless but could this mean it can bring on mental illness?
A man who studied art theory and postmodernism at university says feelings of disengagement and alienation as a result of his studies caused him to suffer serious depression after graduation.
Scott Reid, 28, currently a secondary school history teacher in Hackney, London says the theory of postmodernism and its teachings that everything is relative made him feel he no longer knew what reality was.
"I felt that no activity had any more meaning than any other. I became seriously depressed," he said.
"What was the point of concentrating on any activity if it had no real point? If you believed what we had been taught at university, everything had equal meaning.
"If you took this to its logical conclusion, everything meant nothing."
