Through the last decade, efforts have been invested in spreading awareness related to mental health in general. Those efforts aimed particularly at reducing the stigma and discrimination against people with mental health disorders. The key message disseminated was that mental illnesses should be regarded as a common illness and that any accompanying discrimination or exclusion can affect people in a way that may be worse than the disorder itself. A mental illness is defined as a condition that causes serious disorder in one's thoughts or feelings. It is well agreed that mental health is to be dealt with cautiously and followed upon by a professional. As successful as they may have been, such campaigns failed to assess one vibrant factor that has become vital: the role of the media. This paper aims at examining particularly the role social media; it emphasizes the fact that such openness in mental health issues can be misleading and in some cases manipulative, thus leading to more complex disorders in some cases. This work will present two case studies illustrating the glamorization of some mental health diseases on social media and how the youth might be misled into wrong practices in that respect. It will also detail the results of focus groups conducted at the Counseling Center of the University of Balamand which will project the point of view of university students on that issue.
