The sad truth is, when it comes to mental health issues, media and movies can be misinformed and lack the research and understanding of what it means for people navigating illnesses like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, to name a few. Storytelling that perpetuates inaccurate stereotypes and sensationalizes behaviours associated with mental health leads to stigma that affects how we care for our loved ones and how they see themselves in the world.
