Articles<\/h3>\n

“Beyond Awareness: Mental Illness and the Ableism of Capitalism” on TruthOut.org<\/p>\n

“We value people based on their ability to produce in our system, emphasizing output volume over the meaningfulness of one\u2019s contribution to the lives of those around them and widgets over human beings. So where does that leave those of us who are diagnosed with a mental illness and\/or consider ourselves neurodivergent (i.e., divergent from dominant standards of \u201cnormal\u201d cognitive functioning due to attention deficit disorder, bipolar status, autism or some other neurological departure from the norm)?”<\/p>\n

Stigma, Prejudice and Discrimination Against People with Mental Illness<\/a><\/p>\n

“Stigma, prejudice and discrimination against people with mental illness can be subtle or it can be obvious\u2014but no matter the magnitude, it can lead to harm. People with mental illness are marginalized and discriminated against in various ways, but understanding what that looks like and how to address and eradicate it can help.”<\/p>\n

Why We Need Responsible Representation in the Film Industry<\/a><\/p>\n

“Hollywood has a long history of misrepresenting those with mental health conditions. These representations are usually portrayals of people with mental illness as violent and dangerous, which contribute to harmful stereotypes about mental illness. Inaccurate representations of mental illness create barriers to reducing stigma, forcing mental health advocates to work overtime to undo these damaging stereotypes. We need the entertainment industry to start accepting responsibility for the role they have in the mental health movement.”<\/p>\n
