Perhaps a more complex question. You see that in 2016, Split caused a considerable amount of controversy due to its representation of DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder).
Do you feel there is a better way to represent this disorder, aswell as most mental health issues in contemporary media without creating further stigma and/or unhelpful stereotypes?
Although, I think it's good to represent certain mental health issues and disorders in media, so that it some what normalises it and gives the people with the mental health disorder / issue a sense of not being alone or like an outcast, I also believe Split probably shouldn't be 'cancelled' or anything as it's more just for entertainment purposes rather than to fully represent a mental health issue, but I do sympathise with those who feel misrepresented.
But with that said, I'm not entirely sure if there is a correct way to represent mental health issues / disorders in movies or in general media, as it will never make everyone happy with the representation as a number of different people can have the same disorder or mental health issue but can wildly affect them in different ways to one another, which would be very hard to portray in a movie, series etc.
