Go watch monster pls (it's the best you can see) trust me
Not an anime, but I could recommend some manhwas that accurately portrayed mental illness out of trauma.
Love Me Not (Specifically Season 2)
- PTSD, Depression, and anxiety was accurately shown although it was short. The appearance of the psychiatrist also makes it interesting because actual psychiatrist do tell you bluntly that what you feel may not be normal and it is okay to recognize it.
Non Zero Sum
- Very disturbing BUT what people don’t realize is that the MC is suffering to what we call “trauma bond”, a branch of the Stockholm syndrome. Often see in rape victims that knows their rapists personally. You may be annoyed that the MC is not thinking logically and how dare he follow his rapists’s words so easily despite raped and gang-banged, BUT THAT’S HOW IT WORKS. I do not generalize that every trauma bond happens that way, but it is one of the severe cases.
My Beloved Oppressor
- Romanticized depression but somehow accurate for victims that were concealed and mentally abused.
Komi Can't Communicate
Call of the night
Can you guys please tell me animes you have watched that have either portrayed mental illness negatively, accurately, or romanticized it? I need examples for each for a project I am doing
