the fact that he had spoken openly about depression and panic attacks.
Below follows an excerpt of the interview:
You declared recently that you don’t deal with the issue of kg. You think you suffered bullying for this issue? There have been comments or reports that made you sad for?
Clearly is bullying. With the reports I’m working on. So, yes, I have accepted bullying from a portion of the Press, but never from the people that I deal with and the public.
You were one of the first Greek women who spoke openly about depression and panic attacks that you have experienced in the past. What made you want to share it with the world?
To not feel alone. In September I did some tests in a private hospital and waiting for the results, I got caught up with doctors and nurses. It was a weekend. I say, “children, have peace and quiet, what’s up?” and they answer me “we had several incidents with panic attacks”. I have a lot of physician friends and they tell me that a lot of people are facing this problem and many are in new age.
You’re over it for good?
No. But I can now control it. This happened to me last winter. It was late at night, I was alone at home, Andreas was away in London. I called a friend of mine, we sat together and all’s well.
