Marshanda is an artist who actively voices mental health issues on social media. This is because the woman is a survivor of bipolar mental health disorder.
However, when faced with this condition, not everyone can support it and choose to stay away from it. When he came to chat with Jerren Lim, Marshanda revealed that he had been shunned by his artist friends because they knew he had bipolar disorder.
“There is one artist, Jer, I don’t know, maybe it’s more than just him, but the only one I know is him. I want to tell the story to you and Jerren here,” said Marshanda on Jerren Lim’s Instagram.
Marshanda continued without naming the artist. According to him, the management forbade being friends with Marshanda.

“He is a film actor, a top artist, he has more followers than me on Instagram, he is famous, only with his management and those closest to him, he is prohibited from being caught being friends with me by the public, because I am a public figure who admits that I am have mental problems, which is bipolar,” he continued.
Marshanda of course regrets this attitude. According to him, there are still many Indonesians who underestimate people who suffer from bipolar disorder.
“That’s the reality, in our country, especially in the entertainment industry, if you just talk about mental problems, it’s dangerous, it’s a sign that you’re embarrassing yourself,” he concluded.
For your information, Marshanda was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2009. As a result, this woman had to take medication every day to prevent her illness from getting worse.
