‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…
Matthew’s Pick of the Week…
This week I want to keep it short and sweet by highlighting Just Peachy Comics – a webcomic I just discovered this week on Facebook thanks to a friend’s share. Holly describes her comics as a way to journal as her therapist suggested – lucky for us, the idea of traditional journaling wasn’t for her! You can support her on Patreon.

Thanks for sharing @NoetheMatt @GraphicMedicine, I hadn’t seen this excellent Crohns comic by @metrokitty for @Crohns_HU! As someone with Crohns (thankfully stable disease at present!) & depression it’s great to see comics discussing the pros & cons of invisible illness. #crohns https://t.co/ZQcfvXr1Qe

There are many reasons why #AdolescentMedicine is a field of study. These are complex, multifaceted young #adults, working out the ways of the world, and are wary of who to and how to trust.
