How much do public figures need psychological support?

Speaking as a guest on RTV21's programme Ftohtë e Nxehtë, psychologist Bardha Gërdovci said that public figures need psychological support, and stressed the importance of caring for one's mental health. "I believe that artists, more than anyone else, need support — not necessarily because of some psychological disorder, but simply because of who they are: public figures whose profession demands that they make themselves constantly available to others. In a way, that forces them, more often than not, to set their own emotions aside — sometimes without even realising it. I have heard of cases involving singers who had just lost a family member and were still required to perform at a wedding. That is an enormous burden. It is good for a person, sometimes, within their own four walls, to have someone they can talk to," she said, among other remarks./21Media
