Grigoris Arnautoglou mental health disclosures

Greek presenter Grigoris Arnautoglou has shared personal details regarding his struggles with depression and his subsequent recovery process. During an appearance on the program ‘Studio sti 3’, Arnautoglou discussed his decision to seek professional psychiatric help, noting that a combination of psychotherapy and medication was essential to help him ‘stand on my feet’ again. He reflected on how therapy helped him address an excessive need for external validation and taught him to view failure as a tool for renewal.

In later reflections during the ‘DIMITRIA 2026’ events, Arnautoglou expanded on his journey, revealing that he sought psychiatric assistance for a period of six years. He connected his personal experiences to his religious faith, mentioning his visits to Mount Athos and his past strict adherence to religious practices. He noted that his decision to speak openly about psychotherapy aims to challenge social taboos surrounding mental health treatment.

Furthermore, during his radio show ‘Proino Sfera’, Arnautoglou addressed past personal failings regarding infidelity and deception in relationships. Describing himself as having been ‘sinful’ in that regard, he cited these past behaviors as a reason for never having married.
