I think I may have sent the wrong message in another thread. I didn't mean to imply that books about topics like abuse or mental health are harmful. For me, I think books and movies and the internet, are kind of a double edged sword. While it can be very helpful, I have sometimes had a difficult time limiting my intake. In many ways reading about mental health issues has been helpful - it helps me understand what is going on with me and helps me realize other people deal with the same issues. Other times I think reading about certain issues has left me feeling even more depressed. I think the key here is moderation, and that's not something I'm real good at.
