List of television shows featuring mental illness

Lacks notability, unmanageable and far too selective list that is, at best, served by a category or discussed in the appropriate mental illness articles as part of the over all discussion of that illness in popular culture. Failed PROD (with reason of "probably controversial"). Collectonian (talk) 03:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The criteria are far too broad for this -- I agree that Monk deals with OCD quite prominently, but a lot of these are far less obvious. This list is maybe 0.01% complete, not to mention quite indiscriminate and unsourced. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the list is nothing but medical shows and crime dramas. I think it would be hard to find a medical condition that has not been featured on ER. There is nothing notable about this at all. I could see if they listed Monk since the main character has OCD and it's a main component of the show, but I'm sure that is already covered on a list of characters somewhere. I'm pretty sure every long running tv series could be included in this list since there seems to be no inclusion criteria. Ridernyc (talk) 03:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
