In your paper you should address two main topics: First you should identify what mental illness is being depicted in the TV show or movie (please also give the name of the TV show or movie and name of the character). What specifically does the character do or say that matches up with the symptoms or experiences of individuals with that disorder? Second you should discuss the accuracy of the portrayal of mental illness. Do you think that this character is an accurate representation of individuals with the mental illness in question? Explain why or why not. Audience Imagine that you are writing this as an article for a psychology magazine.
