Adela Popescu opens up about depression and ongoing fitness routine

Actress Adela Popescu revealed that she endured a severe depressive period while filming a long‑running series, describing panic attacks and constant crying. After three psychotherapy sessions on a colleague’s recommendation, she stopped therapy and eventually found relief by taking an extended professional break and relocating to her aunt’s home.

More recently, Popescu shared on social media that she walks at least 12,000 steps daily at her countryside house in Vâlcea. Despite the activity, the scale has not moved, which she jokes about with her husband Radu Vâlcan, noting that the routine helps maintain her weight amid abundant home‑cooked meals.
