hi, I’ve been recommended bojack like an infinite amount of times throughout my life but never watched it because I have severe chronic depression, an ED and BD and I’ve just heard that the show can make it worse, is this true or is it something I’m missing out on?

    I don’t recall there being anything ED related (nothing significant at least) and I’m not completely sure what BD means. For depression, the show portrays it really well that it honestly may be one the best media portrayals out there.

    People have different triggers and there are episodes that people will skip for the sake of their mental health for all sorts of different reasons. If you feel triggered at any point, turn it off for as long as you need

      There’s not a lot specifically ED related, except for >!the whole Hollyhock-Beatrice-diet pills thing,!< and I also think the >!Diane gaining weight due to her antidepressants!< side of things could be triggering to someone with an ED and depression. As you said, though, it would entirely depend on the person.
