TW- discussion of suicide and self-harm

Welcome to How Are You?(Really)'s spooky season special! 

In this episode me and Matty talk about depictions of mental illness in the media, notably the Horror and Psycological Thriller Genre. Journey with us from classic 1960's 'Psycho' to more modern takes such as 'Split', 'Euphoria' and 'The Babadook'. We discuss the accountability of the film industry in promoting stigma in the way they show therapists and mentally ill individuals, in particular 'Skins' and '13 reasons why'
