18 May – Following Jet Li's daughter Jada's confession about her struggles with anxiety and depression, former actress Veronica Yip revealed that her daughter Victoria is also struggling from several mental and emotional health issues.

As reported on Mingpao, in an earlier interview Veronica revealed that her daughter has actually started struggling with these issues since she was young, but that the family had never noticed it. It became much worse in her teenage years, when Victoria began to become more rebellious and it caused more friction between the two of them.

It was not until her daughter consulted a doctor that she found out that she was actually suffering from attention deficit disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, as well as depression.

Veronica admitted that she was initially against using drugs to control Victoria's illness, but slowly realised that the right kind of drugs could help her daughter's mental health.

The actress stated that she and her husband took Victoria to see more than ten doctors, including psychiatrists, to find the right medication for her.

Now 21, Victoria is now learning to love her life again, and is currently studying for a degree and planning to blog about her life's journey. She admitted to still struggle with depression and the occasional suicidal thoughts, but has now learned to realised that the only person who can control her life is herself.

Elon Musk launches $97bn bid to buy ChatGPT-maker OpenAI
