Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are covering our first part of the very disturbing documentary "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV." In this episode we will be discussing the role of children in TV and movies, attempting to keep child actors safe on sets and in the industry. We discuss Dan Schneider and the environment he created on set that enabled inappropriate actions and people around. We also share personal experiences that came to mind watching this series.
