The Collected Schizophrenias by Esmé Weijun Wang
5.0

 Absolutely stunning. I have bipolar disorder with psychotic features, she has schizoaffective disorder bipolar type—our similarities made me feel so seen, and our differences made me rethink so much. Her thoughts on "person-first language," being "high-functioning," hospitalization, having children, and religion are gonna stick with me. At times poetic, rant-like, desperate, clinical, and/or academic, the reader is swept along.
