Great Shows w/Mental Health & Trauma at the Forefront

Deals with PTSD from an accident both leads experienced when they were younger and the ramifications it's head on their lives. This series, as stated by the title, is a romance at the forefront, while also dealing with mental health/illness. 

Emotional/physical parental abuse, patricide, PTSD, youth-related trauma, abandonment, learning to love and communicate through trauma response, etc.

Child abuse, parental abuse, starvation, family trauma, postpartum depression, childhood trauma, living through crisis, revenge,  victim and survivor of massive scale catastrophe, survivors guilt, loss, grief, longing, abandonment issues,  etc. Lots to chew on with this drama. I adore it so much.

Loved this series. Heavily discusses the realities behind bullying/bullying in the military specifically. 

Stages of grief in dealing with a terminal illness. This show broke me.

I adored Jo In-Sung in this. This series dealt with OCD & Schizophrenia really beautifully. 

Grief. Autism. Moving on and accepting family. ETC. Great series. 

Really adore this series for the relationship between a younger brother and his older brother (who is on the spectrum). It was my first time watching a KDRAMA that actually had autism at the forefront.  The brothers have dealt with something serious while they were younger and there is trauma and PTSD in that, but also just growing up in the situation they were in and the consequences to living life without parents and that guidance. The series is a bit problematic with the way the FL comes onto the ML without his consent (and the series makes light of it by making those scenes humorous), but I do find other aspects of the show, like dealing with autism and mental illness like bipolar disorder in a healthy way, very refreshing.
