MANILA — Actress Sunshine Dizon on Saturday opened up about her mental health battles.

In an Instagram post, Dizon shared that she is currently diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, panic attacks, and abandonment issues hoping that people would end the stigma of those who have mental health problems.

"And since I'm here alone feeling overwhelmed guess it's time to admit what I’ve been going through recently. Diagnosed with PTSD, depression, panic attacks, and abandonment issues and that's just skimming the surface," Dizon said in the caption.

"You may ask why now? Only because I want to free myself from the stigma. There’s nothing wrong to ask for help. I know it’s very hard to get stuck in your head. But we can do it, baby steps. One day at a time," she added.
