Reply to comment by tafor83 in Do movies like Smile (2022) further stigmatize mental health? by Alternative-Cold-290

Movies can absolutely create a stigma around something? Imagine Hollywood depicted people with mental health issues like schizophrenia, bipolar, BPD, etc. as all crazy people who need to be locked in an asylum. Don’t you think it might create a stigma around people with mental health issues? Cause what I just described already happened in the 20th century. Idk the more i read your comment the less it makes any sense

Well the premise of the movie is that how mental health and traumas are proverbial cells and there is no escape from it once you are going through it. So in some ways it was an opportunity wasted. The other thing that stood out was that she was one of the least suspectible person to fall into that trap.
