Help! I had a patron in tonight who is looking for recent fiction - from the last few years - dealing with mental illness that has a positive outcome. I went through Fiction Catalog with him but most of those listed where either too old or did not sound like they had a positive outcome. He does not want any that have violence.

He did not give me too much information but I am guessing that either he or a family member has been recently diagnosed and he is looking for a good outcome to read about. He first asked about mental illness in California but later returned to say he wanted stories.

I showed him Fiction Catalog but he did not seem to understand how to use it and I have not had any time to use it tonight.

I thought I would see if the all-knowing FictionL folks would be able to help. Young Adult titles would work also. Thanks for any help I can get!

It's nonfiction, but A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar is worth recommending.
John Nash, a brilliant mathematician (won the Nobel Prize in Economics),
overcomes a decades-old illness by sheer force of will. This is an
exceptionally well-written biography, with lots of surprisingly interesting
information about mental illness, its diagnosis and treatment.

"Folly" by Laurie R. King is about a woman who suffers from clinical
depression. At the time the book starts, her husband and child have been
killed in a car accident and Rae has just spent nine months in a mental
hospital. The bulk of the story is about her going off to build a house
in the San Juan's and recovering her mental health. However, the book is
a thriller complete with unseen villain and there is some violence.

Not fiction, but good choices:
"I Love You to Bits and Pieces" by Gillian Helfgott, sort of the basis for the
movie "Shine," is excellent.
"Girl Interrupted" by Susanna Kaysen is dark, but she does find her own strong
voice toward the end.

YA fiction -
"I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" by Joanne Greenberg
"Saint Jude" by Dawn Wilson

Sort of fantasy-fiction, but with interesting things to say about mental
illness and the treatment thereof:

I recommend "Milicent Le Sueur" by Margaret Moseley. The title character is a psychotic homeless bag lady. "Psychotic" brings thoughts of blood-drenched serial killer stories, but this is a harmless mystery. Milicent is proud of her bags, proud of living outside, and only has spells when she forgets to take her medication. When she's framed for a murder, she does a better job of investigation than the police do. It's a very nice book; I especially enjoy that both cops and other townspeople not only tolerate but like Milicent, even though she is very definitely "not all there".

I think it is the 1st book in the series where Rose's misguided
tendancy to direct & boss people is solved by making her an
honorary traffic cop/director. (Altho' never named that I remember, I
think her symptoms are of a manic depressive or bipolar disease.)

Well, there are lots of excellent YA books that fit
this description, but they can still be pretty
wrenching to read if you're dealing with such a
situation, even if the ending is hopeful. Those that
come to mind are:

America / E.R. Frank
Mixed-race America is abandoned by his drug-addicted
mother. We first meet him in a treatment facility
after a suicide attempt. His psychiatrist works with
him, patient through weeks of America's silence, to
help him heal from a terribly damaging childhood.

Damage / A.M. Jenkins
Austin is a high-school senior whose life appears
perfect. He's a football star and dates the
best-looking girl in school, but he is so depressed
that he is contemplating suicide. The book is written
in 2nd person, a device which effectively pulls the
reader into Austin's internal dialogue. Eventually, he
opens up to a friend about his feelings.

Cut / Patricia McCormick
Callie has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital
because she cuts herself. At first, she refuses to
speak, but gradually she puts together the memories
and emotions that led to this behavior.

Stop Pretending: What Happened When My Big Sister Went
Crazy / Sonia Sones
Auto-biographical, this is an emotionally-charged
collection of poems written from the perspective of a
13-year-old girl whose big sister is
institutionalized. As her sister recovers, she is able
to return to emotional normalcy herself.

A similar story, but one in which the sister must
learn to accept her older sister's
institutionalization:

Memories of Summer / Ruth White
Two teen sisters from rural Virginia move to Flint, MI
with their father. Summer, the older sister, has
always been different, but the community where she
grew up accepted her. Now, the harsh urban setting and
isolation precipitate her slide into schizophrenia and
attempted self-mutilation. Father and daughter must
make the difficult choice to institutionalize Summer.

HTH,

Linda
