Portrait of Mona Ratuliu Speaks Out About Mima Shafa, Revealing Her Daughter's Depression and Desire to Commit Suicide

In early August, Mima Shafa shocked everyone with her confession of wanting to end her life. From there, it was revealed that Mona and Indra's eldest child had been experiencing mental health issues since she was in elementary school, but at that time they were still concerned about the bullying problem experienced by Mima.

Mona, Mima, and Indra then explained the problems experienced by Mima through a YouTube video. Indra admitted to being very shocked when he first found out about his daughter's post wanting to end her life. As far as Indra knew, Mima's condition was stable and she hadn't confided in him lately.

Mona revealed that when Mima was young, she would often suddenly call her and say that she was having difficulty breathing. However, when taken to the emergency room, the doctor did not find any problems. Nevertheless, this would often happen.

Mona also took Mima to see a specialist doctor who then suggested seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist. From there it was finally known that Mima was experiencing mental health problems and undergoing therapy with a specialist psychiatrist until she was in high school. When she was in 10th grade, panic attacks and anxiety began to strike again, she began to want to commit suicide but did not talk to Mona. Mima chose to tell her story to the school counselor.

In late 2021, Mima started seeing a psychiatrist. However, even though she took medication, she still felt heavy and tired. Finally, the day came when she wanted to end her life and Mima was taken to the emergency room.

Mima doesn't know why she ended up having problems with her mental health. The doctor explained that this can happen to anyone, anytime, regardless of social and economic status. It also doesn't matter whether it comes from a broken home or a loving family like Mona's. Mona also had difficulty understanding the situation faced by Mima.

Mima's turning point came from Mona's encouragement. Whether Mima sees her problems as a disaster or a blessing, from there she feels that she has received incredible support and can become an inspiration to many others out there. Finally, Mima decided to share her story with the public and help many others who are experiencing the same thing.

Mona and Indra are still learning to understand their daughter's condition. It's not an easy task, but as parents, they always try to be there as Mima's learning companions. And they always make sure that Mima can confide in them whenever their daughter wants to talk about anything.
