Hiya. On the assignment topic, is that how media influences how society perceives pnd?

I'd bring in examples from celebrities like brooke shields on oprah. In fact, oprah is a major influencer, so i'd look closer at whatever she's had on her show about it

I'd probably start with some of the negative examples, like that poor mum in WA who killed her baby and tried to kill herself. The amount of cases of maternal infanticide has influenced how the media deals with it. Its been given more credibility over time. Women are less likely to be pillorised and more likely to be treated a bit more gently. Do they now put helpline numbers on news reports about it?

Another point to include is the rarity of male pnd, how its not portrayed and therefore not really given credibility.

Have there been any examples of pnd on popular tv shows? That can influence whether women reach out for help.

Do you need to include social media? Cos there's forums, blogs etc

Pl excuse the spelling mistakes- on my phone.
