What are your thoughts on the portrayal of mental health in movies and series

Sure! Here are eight different takes on that topic:

"Honestly, I think it’s a mixed bag. Some movies really nail the struggles people face, while others just throw in a mental health issue for drama. It can be frustrating."

"I love when films and shows tackle mental health seriously. It helps break the stigma, but sometimes they get it all wrong and just perpetuate stereotypes."

"I feel like there's been a big improvement lately. More creators are being open about mental health, which is awesome. But there’s still a long way to go."

"Sometimes it feels like they just use mental health as a plot twist. Like, surprise! The villain has anxiety! It can be a bit cliché and not very realistic."

"I appreciate when a character’s mental health is portrayed authentically. It makes them relatable and real, but I wish they’d show more of the recovery process too."

"Honestly, I think some shows do a great job, while others just romanticize it. It’s important to show the real struggles, not just the dramatic moments."

"I think it’s great that mental health is getting more attention in entertainment. It opens up conversations, but I do wish they’d consult actual experts more often."
