Games (and other fiction) about mental illness?

It would be cool to have a CS game based around dissociative disorder…

I’m not sure I even have a question here, more of a topic but it’s one that’s bothered me for a while. The representation of mental illness in fiction. A lot of the time it’s a plot device, an easy way to create horror or to make a seemingly motiveless villain. Yet I feel like this is so annoyingly prevalent that it causes real world problems. The amount of misinformation spread, even about relatively common illnesses is ludicrous. For the sake of inciting discussion does anyone know of accurate portrayals? I’m not talking just games here but any piece of fiction.
