Mental Health Treatment in Literature

Many forms of literature address the difficult subject of mental health.

Common features in such novels are large and secluded buildings, patients who are wrongfully committed, mistreatment by staff, and general misunderstanding and fear of mental health issues. Neo-Victorian Fiction is another genre that covers the same issues. Last, biographies are another genre that address non-fictional stories of people committed to mental health facilities.
