    Haven't seen a thread like this before (no doubt there's one somewhere!), and I'm interested. I'm sure others will be interested too.

    That the book involves mental health in any form doesn't have to be explicit in the text, could be subtle, or maybe it's simply part of your interpretation of the text.

    Maybe you just know an author who writes a lot about mental health within their books and you want to recommend them.

    Borderline by Mishell Baker. It's an urban fantasy book, and the protagonist has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
    It's a really good book and I'd definitely recommend it.

    I'll be sure to get those; I've been finding it difficult to get really good ones atm
