Actress Shamaine Buencamino shared on her Facebook page the result of their first psychological autopsy session they attended to help determine why their daughter Julia took her own life last July 2015.
Shamaine also made an appeal to teenagers to talk to their parents if they are having problems and difficulties. Here is the Facebook post of Shamaine:
“Understanding Julia.
Yesterday we had our first psychological autopsy session with a psychiatrist. And we learned that Julia had both high IQ and EQ. That’s why she was able to hide what she was going through for three years. That’s why the illness is called an “invisible war.” She suffered so much but being young, she didn’t want to be perceived as “broken” and she thought she could cope on her own. She saved three of her friends from taking their lives but she couldn’t save herself.
I am posting this to encourage her friends, specially the teenagers, please ask for help. Ask for help from your parents! We can not read your minds. But know that as parents we will do everything in our capacity to help and we won’t love you less. It is not just teenage angst!”
