Representation of mental illness and disorders in Iberoamerica digital media

The neutral representation of mental health in the media should not be considered a positive aspect, since a more proactive approach should be encouraged, focusing on the details of each situation without articulating homogeneous stories, which invites us to reflect on the formative and sensitizing role of the media, especially in a context marked by misinformation, digital noise, and the rapid growth of mental illness in the population.

Abstract

The neutral representation of mental health in the media should not be considered a positive aspect, since a more proactive approach should be encouraged, focusing on the details of each situation without articulating homogeneous stories, which invites us to reflect on the formative and sensitizing role of the media, especially in a context marked by misinformation, digital noise, and the rapid growth of mental illness in the population.
