Cursebreakers by Madeleine Nakamura

Cursebreakers by Madeleine Nakamura was fascinating. A magician and a soldier with his rache (a dog psychically bonded to him, reminiscent of a daemon from His Dark Materials) must solve the mystery of a wave of magical comas happening in their city.

This book has a lot of focus on mental health. Adrien is bipolar. He has a healer who uses magic in a similar way as mood-stabilising meds. He also has a keeper, who is a bit like an AA sponsor (addiction is actually a topic later in the book) and is also here to help if Adrien gets suicidal.

Adrien is in love with another man, but it is and stays unrequited. His best friend is a lesbian, without a love interest.
