What TV Gets Wrong About Mental Illness

If you live with mental illness, a show like You're the Worst is downright revelatory. During its first season, the FXX comedy introduced Edgar, a military veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder. In its second season, the show revealed that its lead female character, Gretchen, has clinical depression.

    Mistrusting Treatment and Medication Out of all the tropes on this list, this is the most dangerous. Treatment varies from person to person, of course, but the idea that medication robs you of your personality is odious.

    Indeed 😞

      I'm married to someone who hates to medicate. But I'm also the daughter of someone who needs to medicate and always stops when she "feels better." I do what I have to do for me, but it's hard not to feel conflicted.
