Does someone have a mental illness?
Browse movies, tv shows, books and more where someone has a mental illness.

So nothing major. No one really has a diagnosis or anything but SPOILER there are thought of death and there's a little television spot where they show like a depressed barbie doll with crying and stuff and some illnesses are mentioned but nothing major.

Mental illness is a major significant theme, and all four girls have various symptoms. Sayori explicitly has depression. Yuri is anxiety-prone, has a self-harm habit, and becomes obsessed with the protagonist in Act 2. Natsuki is from an abusive household, and it's implied her tsundere personality is partly trauma responses. Monika is dealing with an existential crisis and can bring up the mental health of the player, the other girls, and herself in Act 3.

Most of the crew likely have some forms of PTSD and people headcannon other stuff but it isn’t explicitly said likely because of the time period it’s set in.

this movie was pretty triggering if you have the flavor of mental illness where you’re sometimes not sure of reality
