“Let There Be Light!”, David Feuer2001-12-22 (humor)⁠:

[Darkly humorous account of attempts at psychiatry among the Jewish Hasidim of Brooklyn. The author must deal with severe neglect & denial of psychiatric issues inside insular religious/ethnic groups, how kosher applies to psychiatric drugs, obsession with ritual & impurity like the man convinced a pig valve had been surgically implanted in his heart rendering him unkosher, and difficult social problems like women malingering to avoid having to bear yet another child or homophobia or fear of diagnosis handicapping them on the fiercely-competitive arranged-marriage market.]

According to the Rabbi, Hershel had been, since two days ago, much calmer. He was now only talking to actual people and he was even beginning to make sense. He had accompanied his mother to the grocery and for once Hershel had not viciously attacked the produce. He had accompanied his father to shul and for once Hershel had not loudly proclaimed himself to be the Mechiach. In fact, he had told his father that, while he still did not like the job description of Messiah, at least he now realized that since nothing much was required of him until Judgement Day he could relax.
