HBO to add mental health disclaimers before for select shows

Variety

As part of HBO's new "It's OK" initiative aimed at destigmatizing mental illness, shows like Barry, Euphoria, Girls and The Sopranos will include a mental health warning before each episode. “HBO has always been at the forefront of telling stories featuring complex characters, some of whom deal with mental illness, from The Sopranos to Euphoria, encouraging more conversation around the different facets of mental health,” said Jason Mulderig, HBO's vice president of brand & product marketing. “We are not saying ‘viewer discretion is advised.’ We are saying ‘viewer conversation is encouraged.’”
