So good. Rachel Aviv shares a series of in-depth profiles of diverse individuals’ experiences of mental illness, drawing on interviews and their own diaries and other writings. 

Her profiles are compelling, empathetic and very well-told. She also weaves in her own experiences and shows in an elegant, accessible way how individual experiences of mental illness are shaped by social, cultural, familial and individual narratives. 

Lots of content notes but I never felt like Aviv was exploiting the darker moments. They were just facts, presented with empathy.
