Mental Health Shelf

Just had a whacky idea. Imagine if Episode has a shelf dedicated to stories about mental health. Would you support?

Yes, but only if mental health issues aren’t glamorized.

Of course. If it does happen, I hope the team pick stories which the readers can relate to.

If you’re talking about weekly shelves, they’ve done that in the past (but not in recent years).
If you’re talking about a permanent shelf, while it’s a good idea, making sure that stories that romanticize, stigmatize, or improperly portray mental issues can be a problem.

Past shelves that included (focused on) stories about mental health.

Hell yeah. As long at the stories aren’t glamorizing mental illnesses then I’d be so down.

The story is about the MC helping her LI to go through his hardship (he used to battle with MDD and paranoid schizophrenia) and the end they are happily together.
