Actress Samantha Ko discloses struggle with mental health issues

Her popularity has surged after starring in the TVB drama The Queen Of News (2023).

The 38-year-old's role as morning news anchor Cathy garnered her the Best Supporting Actress accolade at the TVB Awards in 2024.

Appearing on Cheng's online show HiEggo, which was uploaded on YouTube on July 4, Ko said she has experienced depression, emotional instability and panic attacks.

The panic attacks began during the Covid-19 pandemic when she had to travel to China frequently for work.

"I went to the mainland alone with two pieces of luggage, and there was a need to quarantine then," she said. "I had to shuttle between both sides and sometimes had to stay in China for six months by myself."
