Mental disorders are a public health concern with media as a primary source of information. This study aims to present current research on how the media reports mental disorders.
This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of 130 published studies on media coverage of mental disorders, focusing on the research themes and research trends of the published studies.
The results show that media coverage of mental disorders was generally negative and influenced by socio-demographic factors (e.g., age, gender, and cultural values). Results also show that social media was becoming crucial for mental health communication.
Media worsen the stigma against those with mental disorders, continuing prejudice and discrimination. The field has shifted from traditional media to social media, and from general to specific mental disorder descriptions.
精神障碍是一个公共卫生关注点，而媒体是主要的信息来源。本研究旨在介绍当前关于媒体如何报道精神障碍的研究。
本研究对 130 篇关于媒体报道精神障碍的已发表研究进行了文献计量分析，重点关注已发表研究的研究主题和研究趋势。
结果表明，媒体对精神障碍的报道通常是负面的，并受到社会人口因素（如年龄、性别和文化价值观）的影响。结果还表明，社交媒体对心理健康传播变得至关重要。
媒体加剧了对精神障碍患者的污名化，持续存在偏见和歧视。该领域已经从传统媒体转向社交媒体，从一般的精神障碍描述转向特定的精神障碍描述。
