How do you feel about the portrayal of mental health in movies and series

1. Honestly, I think it’s a mixed bag. Some movies and series do a great job of showing the struggles people face, making it feel real and relatable. But then there are others that totally miss the mark and end up reinforcing stereotypes or glamorizing mental health issues. It’s like, come on, can we get it right?

2. I feel like it really depends on the show or movie. Some of them nail it and really help to break the stigma around mental health, while others just seem to use it as a plot device without any real understanding. It’s super important for creators to do their homework so they don’t spread misinformation, you know?
