Vietnamese actress Việt Trinh opens up about three-year depression battle
Vietnamese actress Việt Trinh has shared her personal journey regarding a three-year struggle with depression. The actress, known for roles in films such as ‘Ngọc trong đá’ and ‘Người đẹp Tây Đô’, revealed that she initially felt shame and difficulty accepting her condition, which delayed her seeking professional psychiatric help.
Việt Trinh noted that the condition caused significant physical and emotional distress, including sleep disturbances, weight fluctuations due to medication side effects, and excessive anxiety. She expressed concern that her emotional state and negative feelings impacted her son, recounting an instance where her son noticed her anxiety and sought reassurance from a doctor on her behalf.
Since retiring from acting in 2022, the actress has focused on gardening, business, and raising her son while managing her mental health.
