Depression could be a terrible condition. There has been a lot of reports about people with depression harming themselves and even having suicidal thoughts. It is also experienced by millions of people around the world.
Here is a list of Filipina celebrities who battled depression.
Thoughts of isolation and loneliness often lead people with depression to consider harming themselves.
Some take knives and cut themselves and some take medications to intentionally overdose on chemicals.
Meanwhile, this teen with ‘major depressive disorder’ decided to eat needles, which according to the expert was due to her thoughts of hurting herself.
After reporting that she is experiencing severe stomach aches and vomitting, she was then brought to the hospital.
The story was featured on GMA’s Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho:
At the hospital, her parents initially thought she was pregnant and had to be tested for pregnancy.
After the test coming out negative, they proceeded to have her x-ray taken.
With the x-ray results, they found out about 50 needles scattered all throughout her body.
They even thought the needles inside her body was a case of witchcraft, so they consulted a local practitioner of ancient herbal-based alternatives.
The practitioner “Lola Inday” gave them alternative cures to send the ‘bad elements’ out.
Aurora, the 17 year old teen, first attempted to eat a single needle back in May 29. After she successfully did it by swallowing the tiny metal with two glasses of water, she reportedly repeated it everyday.
She even tried to eat three needles at once.
Staying at the medical facility, the teen was observed to determine if the case would require surgical procedures.
After a while, 34 needles have passed successfully. While the remaining is still being observed.
