Director 'Aod' Bundit Discusses New Series 'Fix You, Fix Me'
Director Bundit Thongdee shares his motivations behind directing the new Channel 7HD series 'Fix You, Fix Me', which focuses on mental health awareness.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, director Bundit 'Aod' Thongdee has opened up about his latest project, the series 'Fix You, Fix Me' (Klinik Fix Jai), currently airing on Channel 7HD. The series features actors such as Thisa Varitthisa and Pop.
Bundit explained that his decision to direct the project was driven by his personal observations of mental health struggles among people in his social circle. He noted that he previously lacked knowledge on how to properly support those dealing with conditions like bipolar disorder, depression, or panic attacks. He specifically highlighted that common phrases of encouragement, such as telling someone to 'stay strong' or 'fight on,' can be counterproductive. Through this series, he aims to educate the audience on how to better interact with and support individuals living with mental health conditions.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this series reflects a growing public conversation regarding mental health awareness in local media. While the series is now available for viewing, it remains to be seen how the audience will respond to the show's portrayal of these sensitive topics and whether it will successfully shift public perceptions regarding mental health support in daily life.
