I can recommend the following list:

http://io9.com/10-comics-that-can-help-you-understand-mental-illness-1576917503

Some of the comic listed are printed, some are webcomics and can be read online for free. I have read several and can attest that they are good and seem to treat the subject well.


I would also recommend against using word like "lunacy" or "crazy" when talking about mental illness to strangers, some people will perceive those as demeaning.

The rule of this forum is "don't be rude", which includes using derogatory terms for various categories of people.

However my advice was general, not just for this forum. Satire or not, some people will be extremely vexed if you refer to mental illness sufferers as "lunatics", and they might simply disregard what you have to say, even if it is legimate in content.

I am not ordering you to do anything, I am not a mod here. I'm merely giving a piece of advice which I believe you should consider seriously if you're going to treat the subject of mental illness with accuracy and respect.
