Recommended Movies and Television Shows
I personally recommend the following movies and television shows. I feel that they are responsible, accurate and compassionate depictions of various mental health conditions. They are are organized by condition and issues that impact mental health (e.g. Criminal Justice and Women’s Rights). While I watch literally hundreds of movies each year, I cannot possibly see everything. My apologies for any unintentional exclusions. This is by no means an all-inclusive list. Some movies and tv shows – which I find irresponsible and stigmatizing – are intentionally excluded. To view the entire list, press the PDF link below. Feel free to print out and/or share.
