Stories Like Mine is a crowdsourced database of accurate, responsible depictions of mental illness and mental health experiences as created or recommended by the experts—those with lived experience.

​

The database is intended to be a public resource people can turn to for accurate mental health depictions—whether they are looking to feel less alone in their condition, hoping to familiarize themselves with a diagnosis a loved one has just opened up about, or curious about something else entirely! We hope that showcasing accurate accounts will, in turn, encourage other people to create accurate portrayals and to be more cautious when depicting mental illness.

​

Since Stories Like Mine is a crowdsourced database, we may be missing information. If you see any gaps, please email info@adifferentmind.org to let us know so we can fill them in. Also, for this reason, content warnings may not be fully inclusive. For a better idea of complete content warnings, we recommend visiting  https://www.doesthedogdie.com/.
