Cinema, television, literature and other forms of artistic expression rely on the different characteristics of their characters to bring tension to the plot. Often, such characteristics are serious psychiatric illnesses, represented in an erroneous and caricatured way. How does fiction encourage and reinforce the prejudice that hovers over psychiatric illness? How does the population absorb this prejudice and put it into practice through Psychophobia? These questions and many others will be answered in the next ABP TV.
