Brian and Justin deal with mental illness

I was wondering if there were any B/J fics where they deal with a different mental illness other than multiple personality disorder, like Schizophrenia for example. Like Justin has it and gets kicked out of deb's house cause she doesn't understand it or him and Brian sees this and takes him home with him to the loft. He then helps Justin to deal with it and such.  I don't think there are as I haven't run across any yet, but it never hurts to ask any way.


Not Found per say: What I was looking for wasn't found BUT I did get some good recs in the comments section. If there's more out there let me know! Thanks.

Much of my Mirror-verse deals with Brian's fugue episodes (http://psychology.jrank.org/pages/262/Fugue.html) and how they impact their relationship. They even have a psychiatrist on call and in one of the sequels, Brian disappears out of Justin's life after an episode.

I really enjoyed "A Moment On The Lips" http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=601 and it's epilogue "What A Wonderful Life" http://midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=938 both by [livejournal.com profile] sapphire_3

Justin suffered with Anorexia and it was beautifully written.

Alterations by No Chaser over a MW deals with Brian having split personalities.
Very good.

There is a great fic where Brian and Justin are reunited in a mental institution, but I haven't read any stories that deal with Justin having schizophrenia. Maybe you could write it? I would definitely read it! :)

There's also "Smoldering" by Tagsit (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=2409) where Justin is practically catatonic (after years of abuse by Craig and being homeless) when Brian meets him.

And one of my faves, "Brian Kinney is Sex" by Bea_nonymous which you can download from Aly's GIH 4-shared mirror in the sidebar. It deals mainly with Justin's slow descent into depression and Brian trying to help him. Fair warning, though - it may not end the way you want it to...

I think maybe Josslin wrote Aliens (thought I don't have a link) in which Justin developed schizophrenia while living with Brian. B doesn't kick him out but J ends up in an institution. I only read it once but I do remember B replacing the dishwasher, J wearing a tin foil hat and a mysterious ending.
