Examples of Good/Bad representation of mental illness in literature?

What are some books you have read that accurately or inaccurately represent mental illness? I am interested in examples where the author either romanticized a particular disorder or overlooked the harsh realities of mental health. Please share your thoughts and recommendations. Thank you!
