"I suffered from insomnia for several months. It's hard to say exactly what caused it, and this is not the main thing now. My refusal to work, roles in cinema and theater is the most difficult thing that can ever be. I can not imagine my life without productions and filming. However, it was important for me to improve my health, because this could lead to disastrous consequences. The tension from insomnia, which grew every day, reminded me of the huge gorilla sitting on my chest,

"The treatment that my doctor prescribed to me consisted of cognitive therapy. She helped me understand myself and understand how I can continue to live with my problems. Now I can safely talk about it, but then I could hardly admit even myself. I want people to know that being treated by a psychiatrist is not difficult, but it is absolutely necessary if there is a need. I will gladly share my experience with my subscribers in social networks,
