Erin O'Loughlin, PhD candidate in health and exercise psychology (Individualized program) published an opinion piece in The Gazette about the controversial Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.
"While preventing suicide is obviously the biggest concern, the fact that suicide ideation is also often accompanied by self-harmful behaviours is an additional reason to address the underlying issues, write O'Loughlin. While 13 Reasons Why has a positive anti-bullying message, the show does little to teach the audience about depression or anxiety, and it leaves viewers with a sense of powerlessness."
