Sharifah Sakinah To Leave "Toxic" Malaysia For Mental Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused different problems on several individuals. For Sharifah Sakinah – Official, it has definitely taken a toll on her mental health.

Sharifah Sakinah announced her plans to leave Malaysia citing her mental health as reason.

“Desperate times call for drastic measures. For the past couple of years my life has consisted of visits to different kind of doctors and therapists, lists of medications (including self-medication) and I’ve been fumbling in darkness over my own actions.” she said.

Sakinah also mentioned that she is suffering from an extreme level of depression.

“I’ve suffered from heavy depression, anxiety with self-harming behaviour and my world has sometimes been reduced to my room where I’ve spent days in bed without [getting] up.” she added.

The celebrity plans to take a break and hopes to leave Malaysia to recuperate.

“I need a break and I need to focus on my own personal challenges so I hopefully can reach the paradigm shift I’m hoping for. My break doesn’t mean that this is the last you’ve seen from me. I love acting and I plan to come back stronger (and fitter) than ever.”
