So, bit of a weird request here. I'm looking for a book (either fantasy or sci-fi, nothing to do with the real world) where the main character slowly gets depressed and/or insane over time. It's fine if it's not the *focus*, but I'd like it to be an important part of their character.
They don't need to be normal at the beginning of the book, but it's fine if they're not, as long as it gets worse later. I'd also like moments where people (including the main character) kinda joke about it (other people not realising that it's a (big) issue), but then people close to the character start realising "oh shit, they're not ok." I would like examples of their insanity/depression. That is, not just glossing over it, but maybe, for example, people finding out about self-harm scars, or the main occasionally breaking down for no reason, or whatever.
I like darker fiction (clearly), and the longer/more books/pages the better.
