Hello..I'm a Psychology Graduate and I would like to ask what's a good anime about Psychology, and I don't mean psychological anime like Death note o Danganronpa where it just plays with your mind.
I mean Anime where it talks about stuffs like Freud, and some Psych. Disorders like Bipolar, Anixety etc..
so far I've seen the following and these are based on my opinion '

-Welcome to the NHK (Agoraphobia)
- March comes like a Lion (Anxiety and Depression)
-Caligula (The series is heavily influenced by Sigmund Freud)
- Kono oto Tomare (For me this is heavily influenced by Albert Bandura)
- Hourou Musuko (Gender Identitiy Disorder)
-Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu (social Anxiety Disorder)
- One Week Friends (Anterogade Amnesia)
-Psycho-pass (Industrial Psychology Theories)
-Oregairu (About social relationships)

If you know a series that talks about stuffs like this i would love to hear your recommendation.

Kuuchuu Buranko - various issues

Ghost Hound - PTSD

Both these shows have therapists as important characters.

Maybe Uta Kata?
Doesn't outright talk about psychological issues, but you do see some characters displaying some kind of disorder.

Highly recommended if you liked Madoka Magica.

I'd say Tokyo Ghoul, they don't say it out loud but the main char shows quite a few mental disorders and drastic personality changes throughout the series as certain events happen.

For example / The plot:

"Human relationships are chemical reactions.
If you have a reaction then you can never return back to your previous state of being."
