There are rationalists talking about mental illness, but mostly offsite. Ozy talks about BPD among others, Kate and theunitofcaring talk about eating disorders among other things, I'm probably forgetting some.

Thank you! I'll see if I can start compiling resources like this. If you think of any more, I'd appreciate it if you could message me.

I suppose there's Slate Star Codex, which is written by a rationalist psychiatrist who sometimes talks shop but doesn't tend to dwell on mental illness stuff in the same instrumental way. (It is highly recommended for other reasons, of course.)
