Hi everyone 👋

Asthma is often shown in movies and TV through familiar scenes - someone becomes short of breath, reaches for an inhaler, and the moment passes quickly.

But everyone’s experience with asthma can be very different, and these scenes may not always show the full reality of living with the condition.

Do you feel asthma and inhaler use are portrayed realistically in movies and TV?

Is there anything you wish films and TV shows understood or showed better about asthma?

We’d be interested to hear how these portrayals compare with your own experiences. Share your thoughts, experiences, or any questions with the community. 💙

Take Care,

Razar from the Carenity team💖
