Mental Illness is often misrepresented in film and TV, but this video highlights some of the ones that got it right. Crazy Ex Girlfriend makes the top of the list by capturing Borderline Personality Disorder and her struggle to get a diagnosis to finally begin treatment. Rachel finishes law school and finally lands a dream job at a law firm in NYC, and gives it all up on a whim after she runs into her ex boyfriend from camp on the streets in NYC. She impulsively follows him back to California and starts a new life there in hopes that they will get back together. This show is so funny while also addressing serious topics of mental health like anxiety, depression, and addiction in a poignant way.
