Following on from this, I have decided to look into the different ways the news represents mental health. I have specifically focused on comments regarding Robin Williams and Amanda Bynes to see the contrasting opinions.
Of course these are two different circumstances, however I do believe that the reports on Amanda Bynes' 'breakdown' can come across as very unsympathetic and mocking, whilst Robin William's death sparked a debate on how we must begin to remove the stigma and be more educated on mental illness.
I received positive comments on the aesthetics of my presentation and how it was bold and to the point. The use of information and statistics was also something people liked, however it would possibly have been a little more clear if I had extended the concept of having to actually die for mental health to be taken as seriously.
