Could I write good paranoid/absurdist literature without having schizophrenia or any diagnosed mental illness?

Is the some druggie cope shit or is it actually good? I just bought it but I don’t want to waste my time with “DUDE MENTAL HEALTH XD” I’d rather just put it in the local free little library and let the cat lady who curates it throw it away like she does with all the other books I leave there

Probably VALIS by PKD.

It impressed me because it was written by someone who was clearly going through a mental break - but was somehow able to partition that part of his brain and write cogently about it.

I haven't encountered that before or since, and I think it's something unique to PKD, but I'm definitely open to be proven wrong.

Anyone here successfully got a literary agent for their work? How do you find them?

I need to find an agent for my bestselling novel, its fiction with sci-fi elements.
