I strongly feel that this may fall into the latter.

Some of these properties have been respectful of real diseases and disorders, but a lot have not been. It's spawned similar books, films, and television shows, and there's generally an element of romance attached. Sick-lit has become a formidable genre of YA ever since the blockbuster success of John Green's The Fault in Our Stars.
