This study discusses the narrative strategy of medical documentary and aims to analyze how its narrative technique promotes the effectiveness of health communication to the masses. This study takes Depression and Me as an example, using literature and text analysis. Based on Genette's narratology theory, this medical documentary is analyzed from the aspects of narrative speech and transformed speech in narrative discourse as well as internal focalization (fixed internal focalization and multiple internal focalization) in narrative focalization. It is found that the narrative mode of this documentary is conducive to generating emotional resonance with the audience, thereby improving the public's understanding of depression, and achieving the effect of health communication. However, this study also has problems with sample limitations and subjective interpretation, as well as limitations of data collection methods.
