INTRO. BRIEF OVER VIEW ON SUBJECT OF FILM, WILL BEGIN
WITH ME THE PRESENTER INTRODUCING THEN SWITCH TO A
VOICEOVER WITH SOME B-ROLL.
ANNIE
Mental Health has become a really serious epidemic in
society, I feel there are important flaws with
support, information and opinions on mental health
and how deadly it can really be.
ANNIE (V.O)
I will be highlighting 3 really important issues to
do with mental health and informing on support and
what to do if you yourself experience anything
similar to these.
ANNIE
The first story I want to talk about is story X. X is
someone who I knew personally that had a mentally
downward spiral that I feel could’ve been lessened or
prevented if more pro active things had been done
sooner.
QUESTIONS
What do you think could’ve been done to prevent this
from happening?
ANNIE
In my opinion everything that went on at the
beginning were huge red flags to say something wasn’t
right, I myself said very early on that something
needed to be done about it before it got so bad that
it was out of our hands. I definitely could’ve taken
this upon myself and done something proactive and I
didn’t and that is something will deeply regret for
the rest of my life. I haven’t had contact with X in
a very long time due to them being institutionalised
and I think lots of people take the people around
them for granted, if you think someone around you
needs help even if they’re not asking for it you
should take action before it is too late.
ANNIE
The second part of this documentary is on the
epidemic that is male mental health. Suicide is one
of the leading killers of men under 45. This is
partially down to gender stereotypes. Men are
constantly throughout their whole life told to ‘man
up’, be a man, men don’t cry. This imprints on them
from such a young age and results in the suppression
of emotion for years, which thus leads to suicide and
depression etc. 3 in 4 suicides are actually by men.
Most men don’t even acknowledge they have depression
let alone seek help for it. 46% of men with mental
health concerns say they are ashamed or embarrassed.
13 men take their own lives every single day. And
every single one of them could be saved if we remove
the taboo and the phrase ‘man up’ is never used
again. In my opinion being in touch with your
emotions is much more manly than acting as though you
feel nothing.
QUESTIONS
What do you think of the male suicide epidemic?
