United for Global Mental Health: The 2022 Lancet Commission for Ending Stigma and Discrimination in Mental Health reports that careless media reporting perpetuates stigma and discrimination, by using stigmatising language and simplistically or inaccurately linking mental health conditions with violence. This bars people from reaching their full potential, harms their mental health further, and at worst contributes to suicidal behaviour. WHO also notes that vulnerable individuals are at risk of engaging in imitative behaviour following media reports of suicide, particularly if the coverage is extensive, prominent, sensational, explicitly describes the method of suicide. and condones or repeats widely-held myths about suicide. Responsible reporting may help to educate the public about suicide and its prevention, may encourage those at risk of suicide to take alternative actions and may inspire a more open and hopeful dialogue about mental health/illness in general. Stories demonstrating help-seeking (positive coping) in adverse circumstances may strengthen protective factors and thus contribute to prevention of suicide and other adverse effects of mental illness.United for Global Mental Health is organizing a media roundtable for journalists in the African region, which will provide a platform to share resources, facilitate open conversations about the media's role in fighting mental health-related stigma and discrimination, track progress on the Lancet Commission study on stigma and discrimination, and disseminate the World Health Organization's media guide on reporting on suicide prevention The media roundtable will be held on May 15.
