   A friend sent me this study on portrayals of mental illness in AAA video games.

   To summarize:

   - Identifiable portrayals of mental illness were, in all but one case, neutral or negative.
   - Portrayals of mental health _outcomes_ were basically always negative.
   - Mental health treatment was rarely portrayed at all and typically portrayed as ineffective.
   - Schizophrenia-like illness was the most popular to portray, and schizophrenic people in games are usually violent.
   - You are usually allowed to kill the mentally ill people.

   That's pretty horrible!!!!!!!

   Here's the study! (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.967992/full)
