Mass Media and the Effects on Depressive Patients
A Team of 10 Educated Asians The influence of media reporting of a celebrity suicide on suicidal behavior in patients with a history of depressive disorder. http://www.sciencedirect.com January 2007
This study has provided more convincing evidence suggesting negative influences of media reporting of a celebrity suicide on subsequent suicidal behaviors among depressive patients. After a widely known pop singer commits suicide in Hong Kong, a team of scientists investigate the behavior of depressive patients to see how the celebrity suicide has impacted their own thoughts on suicide. The report was made less than a year ago and it seems to fit in well with my theory of how the media can cause of suicides or other behavior disorders.
