Are there any good books with main charters that have disorders such Social Anxiety, Depression, OCD etc. Holden Caufeild from the Catcher in The Rye sorta has social problems. Which is why I enjoyed it.

You're going to have to find your own book, we don't know who you can relate to.

I don't think Bright Lights, Big City is about anxiety, but it deals with some depressive themes. I don't know if it's easier to relate to because the character is "you"; it's written in the second person. A good read, though.
