200,000 panic disorder/depression a year... Gian 84, Cho Min-ah, inner hardness that has now become a weapon

depression and panic disorder. Celebrities who have to stand in front of the public often suffer from mental pain. Stars complaining of psychological pain suffering from baseless malicious comments and criticism. However, there are also those who overcame difficult situations in their own way.

Singer Cho Min-ah, a former member of jewelry, recently confessed to experiencing panic disorder. He often suffered from panic attacks in his early 20s, and then developed anxiety again five months ago. Not only himself, but also his son, Kang-ho, said that his health was deteriorating, and that it was physically and mentally difficult.

He said that he had taken medicine every day and exercised at home to train his body and mind. At the same time, Jo Min-ah said, "Do not cover up the pain and pretend it never happened. Do not turn away from the hurt me of the past and hug me tightly. There is a lesson in the wound, and new skin grows over the bitterness that hurt. Even if you were sick yesterday, if you laughed today, you will be happier tomorrow." So, let's laugh out loud and be happier."

Actor Ryu Seung-soo revealed his own way to overcome panic disorder in a broadcast last year. He said "Thinking dirty thoughts". Ryu Seung-soo said, "I have a panic attack because all the stimuli are plugged into myself. I have to shoot the stimuli elsewhere. I have dirty thoughts. I have to think of stronger stimuli. If I focus on things that I can't breathe, I get out of breath." I can't rest anymore," he introduced a novel method.

Ryu Seung-soo said, "I was going to Busan by KTX before, and the train stopped in a tunnel in the middle of summer. I was stuck in the tunnel for two and a half hours. I had another panic attack while the lights were off. Even when I encountered that situation, I had erotic thoughts. I did,” he said with a laugh.

Gian 84, who has now become a son of MBC but was somewhat unstable at one time, also suffered from panic disorder and depression. In the past, when he stood in front of a camera, his focus was shaken and he looked distraught. Kian 84 also expressed thoughts about loneliness in several broadcasts. It's scary and scary to be here, and sometimes I forget that feeling with alcohol.

However, he healed his pain while doing broadcasting activities, meeting good colleagues and making unforgettable and valuable memories. If you look at Gian 84 now, you can't find the anxious psychology and panic disorder. His appearance was only shining with the preciousness of human relationships.


Not only celebrities, but also all modern people living busy lives, are bound to suffer from depression. According to the announcement of the National Health Insurance Corporation in April, the number of panic disorder patients in Korea increased by 61,804 (44.5%) in four years from 138,736 in 2017 to 200,540 in 2021, with an average annual increase of 9.6%. appeared as Males increased by 38.1% (24,611) from 64,662 in 2017 to 89,273 in 2021, and females increased by 50.2% (37,193) to 111,267 in 2021 from 74,074 in 2017 did.

Through them, it can be seen that the process of listening to one's inner voice and finding what one wants to do is also important. This is why support is added to the future activities of the three people armed with inner strength.
