Does anyone know any tv shows that portray mental illness in a really realistic and relatable way? But also shows humour in some areas.

Well,

1. The Road Within (2014, Rated R) Movie - Drama/Comedy - Tourette’s Syndrome, OCD, and Anorexia are all depicted and still the movie was uplifting.

2. Fleabag (2016, TV-MA, 2 seasons) Comedy/Drama - Adult, depicts grief, self-sabotage behavior, sex problems, family issues, anxiety, idk. Funny and eventually uplifting.

3. Russian Doll (2019, TV-MA, 1 season) - Adult, Comedy, Timeline - Self-Discovery, Mental Illness, watch it.

4. Euphoria (2019, TV-MA, 1 season) - Teen Drama - Addiction, Depression, Self-Harm, Trans, Abusive Relationships, Grief: Losing A Parent (not a lot of comedy here no... but depressed Rue was 10/10 real).

Those are the first ones that come to mind that seem well-done enough to mention. The first ones made me laugh or smile to some degree, have good characters, and a plot I enjoyed watching. I have other teen tv shows that seemed to do a good job when I’m watched them the 1st time, but should I rewatch them now, idk? Depicts teens with problems who have relationships: (Misfits (UK), End of the F***ing World (UK), Skam (Norwegian), Skins (UK)).
