ToriTalks | Mental and Physical Illness in Fantasy Books // with Kay's Hidden Shelf @ToriTalks2 | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Kay had a wonderful video recently about her experience with fibromyalgia and how it related to reading (linked below), and I wanted to do a collab with her to dig in further. How is mental illness and physical illness portrayed in fantasy? How is it done well? When is it not done well?

We realize this is a tough topic, and we aren't here to talk about anyone else's personal experience with it, only our own.
