Actor Stratos Tzorgotoglou detailed his experience with severe depression following his mother’s death in 2020. He described periods of emotional numbness and suicidal thoughts, attributing his recovery to a combination of psychiatric medication, spiritual support, and family.

Actor Haris Asimakopoulos recently spoke on ‘Happy Day’ about his struggles with depression and financial anxiety.
