Age - The characters are typically people in their 20s - 30s or teenagers and young adults. The younger group is used to convey the struggles with growing up and mental health issues are a prime example of the issues young people go through. This is similar for the slightly older section of characters ages as well - there is usually some crisis which lead to them having mental health difficulties.
Gender - Cisgender males and females are the most prominent genders in film. It is stereotypical for women to be presented as having a weaker grasp of their emotions therefore they would usually be used as the characters in film but in this specific genre men are the more dominant character to have problems. This is evident in films like 'The Shining', 'The Machinist' and 'The Silence of the Lambs'. Men are displayed as having violent tendencies towards others whereas women have an internal battle. Other genders are hardly ever represented in film however they should be in the media a lot more.
Ethnicity - The ethnic majority is white in basically all films and this is no different for psychological thrillers. Minorities are hardly used part from through the use of tokenism but then they would be the ones that have a criminal record or have incriminating evidence applied to them.
Class - The main sector of class within this genre is middle to working and lower class. Mental health illnesses are usually applied to people who haven't had the best childhood (for example) which is likely because they aren't from a particularly prosperous family. This means that they would be the class used in the film. From an opening sequence the audience wouldn't usually be able to tell the class of the character but from looking at a whole film the middle to working and lower class would be most evident.
Sexuality - This is an element of identification which could cause the character to deteriorate and get the mental health issue in the first place. Not many films explicitly identify the sexuality of the character.
Disability - Most audiences will think that disability is physical but it is also mental which is what this genre revolves around. There would typically be one character (the protagonist) focussed on who has a mental disorder and the way in which the film is shot and edited will be the way in which the audience can see what it is like in their minds rather than having a character in a wheelchair which would instantly indicate their problem.
