Question by Katie D: What are some good teen books about disorders?
I read the book “Cut” but Patricia McCormick, “Perfect” By Natasha Friend, and I’m reading “Massive” by Julia Bell.

What are some other good ones about mental/personality disorders?

Even if they’re not teen books, I want some good ones.

Best answer:

Answer by Cheyenne
Go Ask Alice is a really good book. Its about a young girl with drug addictions. Its really emotional. And probably not anything like you would think. But, I won’t ruin the story line.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is also really good. Its a bit disturbing, though, in some points.
I reccomend The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, as well.
