Discussion What's the most relatable book about suicide or mental health you've read?

Always looking for some depressing stuff to read.

I personally relate quite a bit to notes from the underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Besides that, especially modern books, seem to miss the mark and end up reaching for a "happy ending".

No longer human is a good book to touch on those themes.

L'etranger by Albert Camus is an amazing book where i could sympathize with the mc. He seems autistic and derealized from his surroundings.

Read the book Mysteries of Mind by Wilder Penfield. It's very enlightening but not really about suicide
