Can we accurately portray mental health onscreen?: Part 2
In this final episode to the two part series, I go in- depth to discuss one other common problem I have noticed with mental health portrayals onscreen, as well as debunking a few common myths and stigma surrounding some mental illnesses and all mental illnesses in general.

Can we accurately portray mental health onscreen?: Part 1
As mental health portrayals onscreen begin to increase, we must now begin to question some of the ways some TV shows and movies write mental health: are they promoting stereotypes or erasing them? That's what this two part episode hopes to answer. In the first episode today, I give a bit of context to the topic of proper representation of mental health onscreen and explore the glamorization of mental health by analyzing two pieces: Heathers and 13 Reasons Why, to explore what show gets proper representation right and which one doesn't make the cut.
