This Wednesday in the show "Opinion" there was talk about mental health. The guest was the well-known actor of "Klanifornia", Albano Bogdo, who shared his experience. He said that he suffered from anxiety in his teens, but the doctors in Saranda, where he grew up, could not identify what he had. Afterwards, Bogdo said that he came to Tirana where he suffered from panic attacks. He said that he did not participate in some shows as a result of panic.
"I have suffered from anxiety since my early teens. I don't know, I had anxiety for no reason, sitting in class or at home. My heart rate increased, I was filled with cold sweat. I felt like I was going to die. Out of ignorance like me, like the doctors who were in Saranda, we went to hospitals and they did heart and thyroid tests. They led me to a dead end because they didn't know what to say. They measured my heart rate, it was 140-150, they told me it's not normal. When I came to Tirana again the same thing. When I got sick, I went to the heart doctor. Until one day I was barely taken to a psychologist. Hardly in the sense that I told him, I don't have anything in my mind, I have it in my heart. It had nothing to do with shame. I talked to that psychologist, she was a woman, it made me worse. He gave me some herbs... I was in a panic disorder at this time. I was no longer anxious. I was starting to panic, I was getting really sick. I was working at Apartment 2XL then, 3-4 times I ran away from the show when the show was about to start. When my name was announced, I was Albano Bogdo, I didn't go on stage, I left the building, I ran away altogether, I ran away to the hospital. I was getting so bad. I was going to the hospital, my heart rate was 160-170. Very high voltage. They continued to visit me about my heart... I have nothing from my heart", Bogdo said.
Albano Bogdo said that a pharmacist discovered the disease. After that, he said that he immediately went to visit, where the psychiatrist told him what illness he was suffering from.
"A pharmacist. I was at home, it was summer. A pharmacist unwittingly because she had a daughter who suffered the same thing. He told me, you are panicking, you should go to a psychiatrist. I got in a taxi immediately, I went to "Pesa", I didn't mind. I was so bad that I couldn't kill myself. Let them say no, he's crazy... Psychiatry gave me a pill to calm down for that night. I calmed down, visited. It seemed to me that I was cured for 3 months. It continued to come back," said Bogdo.
