The series has never strayed from addressing issues related to mental illness. The show’s first episode features BoJack, voiced by Will Arnett, going to the hospital for a panic attack. The show also highlights depression, anxiety, addiction and parental abuse. 

In a previous article on The Mighty about TV shows people with mental illness relate to, BoJack Horseman was one of them.

“It’s one of the most accurate depictions of depression and disassociation I’ve ever seen,” Ashley M. said.

And it’s not just The Mighty’s community who finds “BoJack Horseman” relatable. The show has built a large following due to its “accurate” portrayal of mental illness.

can't believe it took a show with talking animals to present the most adept portrayal of depression but goddamn bojack horseman nailed it

Bojack Horseman season 4 is a masterpiece. Its depiction of depression, Alzheimer's, child abuse, etc is way too real for a silly cartoon.
