Hi All, Valis by PKD is one of my favorite books of all time and I wanted any suggestions for books that similarly explored either the author dealing with mental illness/psychosis or are from the perspective of a character collapsing into their mental illness/psychosis.

Melusine by Katherine Addison has a viewpoint character who is slowly and deliberately being driven insane.
the sorrows of young werther and the double both explore this really well
Carrie Fisher Postcards from the edge and The Best Awful
Not insanity/psychosis per se, but Ubik is a tripping read where you do question the main character’s grip on reality
Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
Probably have already read, but if not – The Shining!
Where the Moon Isn’t by Nathan Filer
Yellowface by RF Kuang
