Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Media platforms especially the entertainment and movie industries may often need to include their subjects show or portrays signs, symptoms or act as being mentally derailed or frail. The actions or behavior of frailty often portrayed by these acts are often over exaggerated. Mental illness often portrayed may range from anxiety and depression related disorders, drug addiction or over use, delusional acts or hallucination. Media portrayed acts of mental illness are also often characterized by extremely hostile and unpredictable behavior. Other negative connotation depicted by media actions are criminality and rationality. All these often paint a negative picture of those affected by the mentally frail.
