HSAD 346 Mental Illness in the Media and Arts 3.0 Credits
The mentally ill and those who treat them are continually concerned about the portrayals of mental illness in the media and arts. Its often sensationalized and stigmatized image places an extra societal burden on the mentally ill and can lead to attempts to hide their illness rather than seek treatment. This course examines mental illness’s social constructs, their sources, and effects.
