Through the selection of the media agenda, the media are active agents in the formation of public opinion, whose way of conveying information on certain topics to the population determines its erroneous or, in the case of mental illness, stigmatising perception. Nunnally already studied this phenomenon seventy years ago, when he argued that the media occupy an essential position in the creation of misperceptions about mental disorders in the population (Nunnally, 1957; Nunnally, 1962). More recently, Nairn et al. (2001), among other researchers, also analysed the media's treatment of mental illness, reaching similar conclusions: the representation established by the press contains predominantly negative connotations, frequently related to criminal or violent events. For this reason, this Final Degree Project carries out an analysis of the treatment that the three most widely read newspapers in February 2022 —El País, El Mundo and La Vanguardia— establish around information on mental illness. By analysing a total of 114 news units —including news, reports, interviews and other news formats— and considering different quantitative and qualitative variables, the aim is to contribute to the understanding of an issue as relevant today as mental health, at a time in history when it has become the focus of attention. Despite the tendency towards a negative connotation of the subject related to mental illness, exposed by previous studies, the present research distinguishes an inclination towards its neutral treatment. Nevertheless, the proportion of articles that, in one way or another, contribute to the stigmatization of mental pathology, establishing a certain degree of causality with irrelevant events, is still repeatedly present.
