What role do the media play in perpetuating prejudices and stereotypes in mental health?

Popular culture, the audiovisual industry, and the media have, over the decades, contributed to the stigmatization and perpetuation of negative stereotypes associated with people who have mental disorders. The media plays a crucial role in combating this stigma. Its influence and ability to shape societal perceptions are factors that compel the journalistic sector to be especially responsible when discussing mental health.
