In this episode, we delve into the vital role that media plays in shaping public perceptions of mental health. From movies and television shows to news outlets and social media platforms, the portrayal of mental health issues can significantly influence societal attitudes and understanding. We discuss the importance of media literacy in recognizing and analyzing these representations, and how they can either contribute to stigma or foster mental health awareness.
