Most worryingly, the study found that some of the most at-risk groups are routinely ignored. Stories about mental health conditions overwhelmingly focused on straight white men, with addiction and PTSD making up the two most common conditions seen on-screen in both film and TV. Only eight LGB characters with a mental health conditions were shown in the 50 most popular shows of the 2016-2017 season shows, and none at all on film in 2016. (In 2017, that number rose to one.) No trans characters with mental health conditions were portrayed in either medium that year, despite the fact that nearly half the trans population in the United States has grappled with anxiety and/or depression . A 2014 study by the AFSP found that 41% of trans men and women in America had attempted to die by suicide, a rate that’s nine times as high as that of cis-gender people.
