The way mental health is written in this is flawless, so much care and research has gone into this work. I truly believe in order to be a kind and knowledgeable psychologist/therapist not only do you have to be well versed in the field but have some demons of your own. Nobody who has had nothing wrong with them mentally can fathom the pain that those who go through mental health issues do. This is why I've often heard therapists see other therapists in order to continue practicing.
This is why so many people are frustrated and don't like the nurse, because (from what we gather) she hasn't not only never experienced mental health issues but been around enough people to be even slightly knowledgeable about it. She doesn't understand that every mental illness is different, plus everyone does well with different treatments.
Not everyone who has PTSD suffers the same symptoms nor have the same treatments. Triggers for everyone is different, everyone deals with things different. Some people have an easier time with PTSD than others, some people deal with medicine better than others. Every body is different, every brain is different. THAT is something this manga excels at.
