“…Examinations of depression representations in newspapers and magazines demonstrate that depression is one of the most frequently portrayed mental illnesses in the media (Sultana et al, 2019). Specifically, in the 2000s, depression was as likely as other mental health states to be discussed in these media sources in a misleading and even stigmatized manner (Clarke and Gawley, 2009; Francis et al, 2005).…”

“…Conversely, in recent years, this trend has reversed and depression has become represented in news and journals in a more favorable way (Bowen and Lovell, 2021; Cummings and Konkle, 2017; Ottewell, 2017). However, these representations still vary in terms of the causes of depression, the illness description, treatment, and even the sources of commentaries cited (e.g., academics, charities) (Orphanidou and Kadianaki, 2020; Sultana et al, 2019; Zhang and Jin, 2015).…”

“…For instance, Orphanidou and Kadianaki (2020) showed that, in the Greek-Cypriot press, depression is portrayed in a twofold way, as biologically caused and psychologically influenced. In addition to this, Sultana et al (2019) demonstrated that the UK press devotes more attention to the lifestyle factors related to depression and its drug treatments and provides space for comments from charities, whereas the Irish press focuses on the epidemiology of depression and non-drug treatments and cites opinions on depression from academic. Furthermore, Zhang and Jin (2015) found that Chinese newspapers place more responsibility on society for depression than on individuals, unlike the US newspapers, and, at the same time, Chinese newspapers attribute problem-solving more to individuals than to society.…”

This article analyzes the mental health discourse on the most popular Russian-language channels on YouTube. The main research focus is depression representations. In total 345 videos were examined, issued since 2015 and till 2021. Using theoretical thematic analysis, the content creator types are identified, and these types are compared in terms of their portrayals of depression. The findings demonstrate that the most popular Russian-language content was made by (1) specialists on mental health, (2) influencers and celebrities, (3) documentalists, and (4) experientialists. The channels of popular science, those with TV recordings, religious, esoteric, and artistic channels were found to be watched less, despite also featuring mental health. The results regarding depression representations showed that most content creators describe depression as an illness. Additionally, the depression portrayals from the contemporary, popular Russian-language YouTube channels generally correspond with contemporary medical perspectives on depression, and the authors discussed depression using words and collocations from the medical discourse. Therefore, it could be assumed that the Russian-language representations of depression on this platform are based on the medical explanatory model of depression and are highly medicalized. The paper contributes to studies of mental health discourse reception across cultures and media, as well as the literature on depression representations.

The 2012 Supreme Court decision in National Federation of Independent Business v Sebelius gave states the option to adopt the Medicaid expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act. Many states, especially those under Republican control, have since grappled with their decision to implement the expansion. We conduct a comparative analysis of how Republican governors framed their stance on the Medicaid expansion. We analyze public statements on the Medicaid expansion published in two major in-state newspapers from all Republican governors from June 2012 through June 2018. In total we collected, coded and analyzed 3277 statements from 66 newspapers. Several key themes emerge from our analysis. While every Republican governor used oppositional framing as part of their rhetorical response to the Medicaid expansion, the policy had a destabilizing effect on the previously unified opposition to health reform. We find that Republican framing split after the results of the 2012 election and that overall Republican governors shifted towards more supportive framing prior to the 2016 presidential election. Republican governors transformed how they framed their stance towards Medicaid expansion after Donald Trump was elected in 2016, with both supportive and oppositional moral-based framing of expansion increasing. These findings inform how policymakers use rhetoric to support their stance on controversial policies in a hyper-partisan and polarized political environment.
