Jet Li's daughter admits isolation takes a toll on mental health
22 Apr – Jada Li, the youngest daughter of martial arts actor Jet Li, recently took to social media to spread awareness about mental health, after revealing that the isolation caused by the pandemic quarantine has taken a toll on her own mental health.
The 17-year-old Jada shared a smiling photo of herself on Instagram and wrote, "Despite the light-hearted selfies, this is a more serious message that you can feel free to skip. I'm so incredibly grateful to be in a position where I'm safe and secure during such an uncertain time. It's important for me to acknowledge my privilege."
"Isolation has really taken a toll on my mental health. I've had a long history with anxiety and major depression, and I'm currently experiencing a pretty bad relapse, something I thought I had left in the past. I am lucky enough to have access to professional help."
Jada also encouraged everybody with similar situation to get help, saying that they are not alone in the battle.
"Mental issues like COVID-19 anxiety are real and valid. There are many good crisis hotlines and websites to turn to if you have access to the internet. I believe in your strength and your ability to get through this. If you're not experiencing any of this, please check in on your friends and loved ones and make sure they're doing okay because no one should go through this alone," she added.
