We're All Mad Here: Race, Gender, and Mental Illness in Pop Culture
It is very rare to see a mentally ill white man in pop culture, and even then, it often appears in the guise of mental illness as superpower, or in the form of a likeable character with mental illness, like Dexter, the humanized serial killer. Others may be creepy and scary, but it’s treated as specific to their characters, not intrinsic to all people like them. This contrasts markedly with the depiction of mental illness in other groups, whom we are supposed to find frightening, alienating, and scary both because of their illness and because of who they are. The next time you engage with a piece of pop culture that depicts mental illness, take note of who is depicted, and how it is framed. How are you supposed to feel about that character? How does the character’s behavior reinforce, or resist, stereotypes about mental illness?
