‘Joker’ and Depictions of Mental Illness in Popular Culture

The “Joker” movie has drawn both acclaim and criticism for its depiction of mental illness and violence. I had the chance to participate in a Facebook Live event presented by WBFO with Alex Garcia from Horizon Health Services featuring reporter NIck Lippa. In the conversation we discussed how mental illness is represented in pop culture.
