Adrian suffers from Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and this is explained very realistically and in detail throughout the book. This also includes descriptions of panic attacks and in one case a delusion which leads Adrian to put leeches on himself which could be considered a form of self harm (but not deliberate). Several characters also discuss and describe having suicidal thoughts as well as suicide attempts.greenlivingaudioworm's review against another edition

I did learn something though: I probably should not read books told in the first person where the protagonist has GAD. Because wow. Adrian and I were having twin breakdowns and it made it very hard to get through the book.
Lee has some of the best descriptions of what anxiety feels like and how extreme attacks can be over the smallest thing. I waited a long time for my library to get the audiobook in and it took like a chapter and a half for me to start having breakdowns.
Good times.

This book's description of anxiety is very graphic and very accurate. Reader beware.julesadventurezone's review
