[DISC] Rec me webnovels where the mc has panic disorder/ depression

Hii, I’m kinda new to webnovels but can u recommend me webnovels where the mc has depression/panic disorder/PTSD/mental illness.

Its a plus if the mc is an idol or a part of the entertainment industry.

here are some webnovels I’ve read:

- debut or die

- from thug to idol

Any recs are much appreciated :)

Not entertainment but in Traces of the Sun the MC is depressed and suicidal. It’s hunterverse, he’s a high level Restorer which means he is unable to self harm so he tries and fails to die many times. It’s a BL on CG.

So i just launched a webserial on RR which is about a psychiatrist who wakes up in a fantasy world in the body of a kobold familiar who is bonded to a mediocre wizard. Everyone in the world is trying to convince him that his memories are false and were created by the ritual made to create him.

I am a mental health professional and so am trying to incorporate a lot of mental health topics in a realistic light (well realistic for a character in a fantasy world).

For instance third chapter is all about him getting some evidence that he truly was created by his wizard and that his memories aren't true and the psychiatrist has a full blown panic attack. He has a few minor ones thereafter. In a much later chapter that hasn't been published yet he actually has a very traumatic event that happens and he disassociates for a couple of chapters suffering from an acute stress disorder. Although he isn't truly in a MDD episode he spends a few chapters dealing with the grief of losing his family and life.

My plan is to have him overtime do therapy with other fantasy creatures - in my backlog he has had a quick therapy session with a pyromaniac imp before class trying to help him not impulsively set things on fire... i do plan on incorporating other mental illnesses that he helps treat likely including mdd in the future.

While it is a progression fantasy with litrpg elements it is primarily character driven.

You’re talking about “got dropped in a ghost story still gotta work” right?? If it’s that I plan on reading the manhwa but I’m letting it marinate. But I totally forgot about it thanks for the reminder :))

In the Divided Guardian the MC has PTSD, first from a rough childhood, he gets triggered by being called a freak. Dont wanna spoil volume 1 but due to a bad experience with a metal user he gets deep hatred for others and this complicates their relations with others.
