What are some recs that portrays mental illness, accurately?
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. I have a friend that is OCD. Like, real OCD not I’m overly organized OCD and he recommends this book.
I have it too, but I’m scared to read the book in case it hits too close to home ?
Elissa Vaughan my friend’s version of OCD is very different from the character’s, and he was angry with John Green at first. Until he learned that John Green has it himself and it affects everyone differently. After that he was impressed enough to write his own manuscript about OCD. I can tell you what it is, if that would help.
Made You Up by Francesca Zappia presents a very good look at Schizophrenia.
I checked goodreads and it looks really interesting
I really enjoyed it.
+1 for Turtles All the Way Down; Challanger Deep by Neal Shusterman is incredible, but I also highly recommend Under Rose-Tainted Skies, History is All You Left Me, Eliza and Her Monsters and Wintergirls
Turtles all the way down!
Paperweight by meg haston
Under rose tainted skies by Louis gornall (my favourite book)
Another vote for Turtles!
I just read “All the Bright Places” and felt it was pretty accurate (although I am no mental health expert)! The book addressed bullying, suicide, bipolar disorder and tore me up!!
