If you have a mental illness, then it can be frustrating to see a TV show or movie missing the mark in its portrayal of said illness.
But then sometimes you see a character with your mental illness, and think, "Wow. That's exactly how I feel."
Maybe a character had symptoms that weren't just one-dimensional, but actually a complex range of emotions and behaviors.
Maybe the character arc in a TV show really made you understand your illness and its progression better.
Or perhaps you finally found a movie that portrayed a personality disorder as NOT being the cause of violent or criminal behavior.
Maybe there was a show where, despite the challenges of living with a mental illness, one of the characters was still able to just live an average life.
