I hear ya. I've been grappling with depression since I was twelve, and it wasn't until I was in my mid-twenties-ish that my psychiatrist figured out I also had Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I'm almost twenty-nine now and I'm still struggling even with medication and therapy.

I've known a couple people other than my uncle who have personality disorders who refused to seek treatment. It's not fun, it's not badass, it's not a quick shortcut to drama. I get the feeling LKH uses mental illness as a shortcut to drama and character development while cutting out all the stuff that people will these illnesses deal with. God forbid she actually has real consequences for these characters "darkity darkness". It's extremely offensive. She gives absolutely no thought to the fact that real people suffer these real diseases and it's not fun times.
