This article is about a elderly couple who were harassed by a woman. The woman caused serious damage to their home and also threatened to kill the couple. This article uses images and videos of the woman showing her breaking into the couples house, etc. The images are from a CCTV camera. The article puts the blame of the violent acts/harassment on the mental state of the woman saying:

"Defending Robertson, Sue Mugford said she was being treated for mental health issues and over recent weeks was being looked after and given medication from care team CRISIS.

She said: 'The medication is helping her mood stability and improving her health.
'Miss Robertson says she is benefiting from this medication and the thoughts and moods that she had previously are stabilising.
'She's complying fully with all that's been asked of her."

This article itself is a single representation of mental health as the woman
