It is often characterized by overwhelming sadness and a loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities, and may require medical and therapeutic support.
Barretto has been open in the past about her mental health journey. In 2018, she revealed that she was diagnosed with panic disorder in 2002, which stemmed from stress brought about by her career and the death of her former boyfriend, the late actor Rico Yan.
