Mental Illness Fics

[ellie phillips]

Are there any stories where one of the characters has a mental illness? Like Borderline Personality Disorder, Kleptomania, Schizophrenia, something other than the "Kirk has Depression" story that's getting a bit cliche?

Thanks!

I might have normally had more recs but I use delicious which is currently down right now :( These two just stuck in my mind enough for me to search for them. Might come back and post again if I can think of any others/my bookmarks come back

Because alcoholism is categorized as a mental disorder by DSM-III

Take Refuge in What You Know (http://www.ksarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=1670&warning=1) by the absolutely excellent Corpus Invictus has Spock suffering from agoraphobia, extremely well written.

Spirits That Just Wouldn't Seem To Be Made of Glass (http://thelilytriad.livejournal.com/2893.html) by thelilytriad has Spock suffering from suicidal depression - honestly, I haven't read this one for a while, and I don't really remember it that well.

That No one Dare Expose (http://ksarchive.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=111) by Tydonin is a group of four stories, all detailing Spick's struggle with suicidal depression over the course of some years. These are quite good.

Mayday, My Darling (https://archiveofourown.org/works/3935122) by sinestrated, isn't about mental illness as such, but about Spock succumbing to drug addiction, and it's incredibly realistic and powerfully written.
