Introduction to Assignment: One way that information about mental health is presented, consumed, and constructed is through entertainment media, such as films, TV shows, music, books, music, and memes. These have varying degrees of accuracy, though they do communicate something about mental health and illness (intentional or not). This mini assignment is about analyzing what is communicated about mental health in entertainment media.
