Chapters focus on mental disorders identified by the most recent <i>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</i> (DSM-5), including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, and OCD. Each chapter begins with a description of a mental illness that includes its prevalence, demographic trends, symptoms, related disorders, and treatment options before examining a selection of young adult texts in depth. Analysis of the texts explores how a mental illness manifests for a particular character, how that character perceives him- or herself and is perceived by others, and what treatment or support he or she receives. The connections between mental illness and race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and identity are examined, and relevant research from education, psychology, and adolescent health is thoroughly integrated. Each chapter also provides a list of additional readings. An appendix offers strategies for integrating young adult literature into health curricula and other programs.Library & information sciencesbicsscYoung adult fiction, American21st centuryHistory and criticismMental illness in literatureLibrary & information sciencesYoung adult fiction, AmericanHistory and criticism.Mental illness in literature.813/.6093561Jane Richmond Kia1528913UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910793284003321Mental illness in young adult literature3772837UNINA
