just the facts, ma'am
As a fan who suffers from mental illness, I've often found the amount of fic and meta dealing with such issues to be comforting. Other people deal with this too! People who are not me! Other people understand. Other people know.
Sometimes such posts are theraputic. Sometimes they're triggering. Occasionally, they're infuriating.
This is a place to post links and recommendations for fics/meta dealing with mental illness and to talk about the pros and cons of such portrayals. No bashing, please. Feel free to post about problematic portrayals, but do so in a respectful manner. In the same vein, respect other posters' and commenters' perspectives and experiences. Everyone's battle is a different one.
