This could also work for physical illnesses.
Basically, find a list online of mental illnesses, from common to rare, and close your eyes or look away from your screen. Scroll and move your mouse around (or swipe around and point if on a mobile device). After 10-15 seconds (however long you want), stop. Open your eyes. Whatever illness is closest to your courser/finger is what you write a story about.
Make sure you do a lot of research before writing. It helps to write down the name of the illness and take notes from multiple sites so you know what you're writing about.
I hope that this will bring awareness to illnesses that are less talked about and add variety to stories.
