Abstract
The article focuses on the stigma associated with mental health in movies and urges the film industry to take action. It discusses how, despite its popularity and influence, cinema can unintentionally perpetuate stigmatizing portrayals of mental health issues through inaccurate and discriminatory representations, and it highlights factors that contribute to this problem, such as misinformation, stereotypes, fear of change, and sensationalism.
