I know it's just entertainment, but how Hollywood writes scripts involving mental health are so completely unrealistic. Showing anxiety sufferers to be miraculously healed after facing a small achievement that is minutes to seconds long. And how depressives heal by finding a cute puppy or a new boyfriend. It causes the public to perceive that mental illness has quick solutions. Sorry if I'm overreacting. It just sticks in my craw.

I agree. I get really mad about how TV handles mental illness, too. They make treatment (and possibly cure) sound easy, get symptoms of mental illness wrong, exaggerate how dangerous people with mental illness are, etc.
