I recently did a research paper on how mental illnesses are portrayed in popular movies. I found that they portray these characters as someone we should fear in society because they are always shown as being dangerous and unstable. They also show symptoms to be very stereotypical and over exaggerated. A lot of the time, the symptoms are not even properly portrayed or society thinks characteristics of an illness are accurate when they aren't. I think this article is very relevant.
