Using the method of cluster-agon analysis, we identified four terminological clusters in our data, in which mental health/illness is conceptualized as "dangerous," "a matter of lifestyle," "a unique story and experience," and "socially situated." We furthermore found that we cannot unambiguously assume that biopsychiatric discourses or discourses aimed at empathy and understanding are either exclusively stigmatizing or exclusively empowering and normalizing. However, our data suggest that news coverage that relates mental health problems to crime is still largely informed by the biocommunicable model of biomedical authority, with most of the terminology surrounding the concept of mental distress referring to biomedical psychiatry (i.e., illness, disorder, diagnosis, treatment, medication, and psychiatric expert).	./cache/cord-011677-axv32kys.txt	./txt/cord-011677-axv32kys.txt
