Naoko struggles with mental health from "summary" of Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (Book Analysis) by Bright Summaries

Naoko's battle with her mental health is a central theme throughout the novel. She grapples with the weight of her past traumas, which have left her fragile and vulnerable. The loss of her sister, the suicide of her boyfriend, and her own struggles with depression have deeply scarred her psyche. These experiences have left Naoko isolated and disconnected from the world around her. Her fragile mental state is further exacerbated by her inability to cope with the pressures of society. Naoko finds it difficult to fit in and conform to the expectations placed upon her. She feels overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life and struggles to find a sense of purpose or meaning. This sense of disorientation and disconnection only serves to worsen her mental health issues. Naoko's inner turmoil is reflected in her interactions with others. She often retreats into herself, keeping her thoughts and feelings guarded from those around her. This sense of isolation only serves to deepen her sense of despair and loneliness. Despite the efforts of those who care about her, Naoko remains trapped in her own internal struggles, unable to break free from the darkness that surrounds her. Throughout the novel, Naoko's journey towards healing is a slow and arduous one. She seeks solace in nature, finding comfort in the quiet beauty of the world around her. However, even in these moments of peace, Naoko is haunted by the ghosts of her past. The weight of her trauma hangs heavy on her shoulders, making it difficult for her to move forward.
