Taeyeon of Girls Generation Fame, a Korean K-Pop, bubble gumpop of eight, revealed that she has been suffering from mental illness for quite awhile. She recently admitted to fan’s in her Instagram chat that she is suffering from depression and on anti-depressant medication. Unlike many celebrities who only talk about their mental health struggles on-route to recover, Taeyeon bravely admitted that she was ‘not good in getting over it’ and was still living in a slump. She told off a fan who took her condition lightly stating that “Whether it’s depression or bipolar disorder, please don’t ‘tsk, tsk’ and treat people disrespectfully. They are all patients who are suffering.” For fans who empathized with her condition, Taeyeon replied warmly, stating that she received a lot of strength from their comfort. She encouraged her fans and said “I decided to talk to you today because I needed to pep myself up. I’m going to be okay. I’m sorry for making you worry, but I think that this is another way for us to get to know each other better. I will take better care of myself. For the fans who deserve all the good things in the world.”
