This Element is a survey of the field of pathographies of mental
illness. It explores classic texts in the field as well as other
selected contemporary memoirs. In doing so, the reader is introduced to
psychiatric information about various mental illnesses through a
narrative lens, emphasizing experience. Because clinical research is
evidenced-based and aims to produce generalizable knowledge (i.e.,
trends), the reading of pathographies can complement these findings with
practical experiential insights. By pairing psychiatric information
with pathographies, certain personal themes become apparent that are
different from the empirical trends identified by scientific and medical
researchers. Based on the survey presented here, this Element
identifies seven such themes, laying the foundation for future research,
inquiry, practice, and policy.
