Any of the Fiona Griffiths series by Harry Bingham would work here as Fiona suffers from Cotard's Syndrome.

Amy (gratefulamyg) | 16 comments I was going to read Everything Everything - Nicola Yoon. The main character is allergic to everything and can’t leave her house.

My gosh, I just googled Cotard's and that sounds intense. Must make for some imaginative stories.

They're one of my favourite crime series at the moment - and the first book (Talking to the Dead) was my contribution to #whodunituk on Litsy.

The Migraine Mafia
Life Disrupted: Getting Real About Chronic Illness in Your Twenties and Thirties
Finding Balance

I was going to opt for either Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon or Enemy Within A Memoir of Strength, Determination & Acceptance by Karen Ager
However, your suggestions have me reconsidering.

I believe Furiously Happy is a memoir by a woman who is bipolar.
