How has mental illness impacted literature?

>> No.17266680

positively

negatively

It depends. If depression qualifies as a mental illness then I would say literature has been negatively impacted by it. Too many roasties think their opinions are worth sharing.

Of the scientific kind, erroneously.

Your post seems like a non sequitur to me. Care to extrapolate?

It gave us a peek into the mind of the mentally distorted and none of us have been the same since, depending if you were a worse person before this happened or not, probably a net negative for most

I just got diagnosed with depression, I would count it as one but only if its severe and lasts a long time. The ones that go away easily arent

Scientific papers have been written about mental illness, retard.

>look up my favorite writers and fine artists
>their issues were external (like being censored, etc) none of that self induced depressive shit
At worst some were aloof in the eyes of normalfags of the day (some accused of being faggots, obviously on a trust me bro basis)
Troubled artists are a massive meme. Baudelaire and perhaps Leopardi are the only ones of value.

If you don’t have a mental illness and you’re still here then you’ve messed up life on easy mode

All moods go away easily if you don't fixate on a diagnosis as an excuse. Exercise the will.

most people that read are women
most people that are "depressed" are women
therefore women with depression are affected by literature this women/roasties think their opinions are worth sharing; they don't realize that women (themselves) are retarded.
therefore this is bad because they are retarded.
to put it simply retarded people sharing their opinions is bad because they impact non retarded people's life by being retarded, and is worse if they are female as they don't realize they are retarded and make up half of the population
