She also stresses the importance of knowing more about depression and about the said condition.
“Yes, because I’m bipolar, I have bipolar disorder. I mean hindi mo maiiwasan ‘yung mga ganung thinking and I think it was such an awakening. Parang we lack that awareness. We think, it’s important to know,” said Meryll.
“’Di ba ikaw iniisip mo lang ‘yun kasi parang because nobody understands. People who are not depressed will never understand the real meaning of being depressed,” added the actress.
Because of the struggles brought about by her condition, Meryll also emphasized the importance of seeking help from the experts. Currently, the actress is getting help from her doctor since she was diagnosed with bipolar when she was 27 years old.
“I always ask for help. ‘Yung moment that I understood that I can be helped, that it can be helped, that you know, you can live a normal life, I really stuck to that path,” she said.
