Debunking MISinformation
MISinformation [def. incorrect or MISleading information] about mental health and psychopathologies online is widespread and this can serious and hurtful consequences. Accurate information is of utmost importance to improve understanding and reduce stigma surrounding mental health conditions.​
Dr. Anna Weinberg, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at McGill University, challenged her students in PSYC 337: Introduction to Psychopathology to identify misinformation about mental health online and critically debunk it using scientific evidence.

We are grateful to the students who have generously allowed us to share their assignments in support of promoting accurate understanding and reducing stigma around mental health conditions.
