Nadine Lustre speaks up about depression

Young actress Nadine Lustre confessed on her Instagram account that she is suffering from depression.

“It may come as a surprise to you but I have struggled with depression way back and still am to this day,” she said.

Though she said she has “already mastered the art of hiding” her condition, she shared her inner thoughts on depression in the post.

“I felt like I was just looking in someone else’s life through a window. Feeling bad ‘cause I am not enough and everything that I do and will do will never be enough,” she said.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 300 million people of all ages worldwide suffer from depression as of 2017.

The illness may also result in a person committing suicide, which is “the second leading cause of death in 15 to 29-year-olds”.

WHO also stated that depression is a product of “a complex interaction of social, psychological and biological factors”, such as hormonal imbalance, traumatic life events and other diseases.

Lustre said she continues the fight with her loved ones’ help and urged those who are suffering from the same illness to reach out to others.
