Mandalas can be used for detecting dementia

""Art psychotherapists today often employ the mandala as a basic tool for self-awareness and conflict resolution, and as a basis for various art psychotherapeutic techniques in a variety of situations (Slegelis, 1987).

The use of the mandala as an art therapy technique is classified into one of two categories: drawing free figures in a circle (unstructured mandala), or coloring a given pattern in a circle (structured mandala). In this study, the latter was used (Fig. 1). The structured mandala is widely accepted to be effective in reducing emotional or psychological disorders (Curry & Kasser, 2005).""
