Although mental health conversations and portraying various diseases that affect the brain have really improved in pop culture in recent years, one topic has been mostly a topic or fur jokes or melodrama: any kind of dementia. Whether it's something silly like Sofia (Estel Getty) of "Golden Girls" be forgotten and become extra stroke, or heart attack, as a lubricity, forgetting another in the movie "Notebook", mentions dementia with a tendency to be inaccurate at best. While several films have been exploring various forms of dementia over the years, it has been especially rare on TV until now.

It makes sense that the HBO Max Hit series "The Pitt" will take its display of dementia characters, such as praised for his incredible medical accuracyBut the comedy "Apple TV+" "shrinking" gives us a truly tinted, complex display of someone who is slowly lost a little at the same time. Since dementia is not a single disease, it is only the name of all different injuries and diseases that cause memory loss, confusion and disorientation, no portrait will ever cover it. However, it is nice to see "shrinkage" and "pitt" treat dementia with proper care.

Often dementia characters are thrown as tragic villains who cannot control their own rage and confusion, such as Manipulative mother Francis Cob of the "penguin". While these displayings can Be correct, they are definitely not always the case, and the spread of so many negative portraits affects how people see those with these conditions. Alternatively, at Pete, we met Willy Alexander (Harold Sylvester), an 81-year-old man with dementia, who enters to return his pacemaker. Instead of focusing on its dementia specifically, the series uses its short moments with villas to give us a complete portrait of a complex human being.

Villy was once part of Freedom House ambulance services, the first true hospital service in the United States, employed in full by black doctors, so his medical knowledge is impressive even if he sometimes does not understand more basic things about his condition. His thread for conspiracy in the series actually carries a little weight to one of the most famous heart episodes, and never to the detriment of villas! His personality and his history are happy and fun, showing that while living with dementia it can be difficult, it is not always the nightmare we are used to watching TV. The creator of the series "Pit" Scott Gemil said he wants The series to inspire people to be more empathetic and kind to each other, and treating the characters with dementia as more than just plot points is a great start.

Asoneyson Segel, Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence's "shrinking" series can be comedy, but will absolutely tear your heart on the occasion. Lawrence talked about how The play is an attempt to find humor in sadnessAnd it involves sadness around various types of dementia. Inspired by his own sadness over his father who had dementia of Louis bodies at just 75, Lawrence settled the series with a few characters dealing directly with dementia loss. In Season 2, we see a constantly awkward psychiatrist Paul (Harrison Ford) really settles with his girlfriend Jululey (Wendy Malik), but things are complicated. They started socializing while she was still married to her husband Eliot (Robert Arkaro), but he was in care facility because he was in advanced dementia and died later. It is very much for navigation, but Paul also has Parkinson, a disease that tragically leads to deep memory loss and dementia in 4 out of 5 people.

Since Paul begins to have trouble reminiscent and his shocks are getting worse, he regrets what he will lose, and we see the people who love them. Deep things we rarely see in fiction because it is so difficult, messy and complicated. "The reduction "is amazing because it allows his characters to be flawed without shaking them for it. They feel like real people, and that includes Eliot and Paul. Instead of demonizing the characters with dementia, both "Pete" and "shrinking" do not remind us of the most important thing: they are human, with all that involves and deserves empathy, patience and understanding.
