Ryoko Hirosue diagnosed with bipolar disorder, suspends all entertainment activities to focus on recovery.

 

"After her detention was lifted on April 16, Hirosue was admitted to a medical facility in Tokyo, where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and hyperthyroidism. She is still undergoing treatment under medical supervision and will continue her recovery at home while attending outpatient care."
They also added, "Through this incident, both Hirosue herself and those around her deeply regret having dismissed her struggles and poor condition as simply 'not feeling well.' For the time being, she will suspend all entertainment activities to focus on her physical and mental recovery."

Is she really going to be okay? I mean that in more ways than one.

We all knew

Take your time and rest well

Didn’t she originally say she was going to voluntarily retire, not go on a hiatus?

Can it be cured??

>> Complete recovery often doesn't happen.

>> If they keep taking their medication, they can live in remission. With support from those around them, they can even work. In the entertainment world, there are members of Little Glee Monster and Kōchi no Kentō who also have bipolar disorder but still work just fine.

She should just rest forever

>> I may sound harsh, but after causing a traffic accident, assaulting a nurse, getting detained, and then being released with a big smile, only to say "I was diagnosed with a mental illness" and announce a break, it's hard not to think, "Just retire and live quietly from now on."

Not like she's been active that much recently anyway, right?

Makes sense. Her mentality is clearly unstable

It's okay if you don't come back at all

>> That's the kind of thing a bully would say.

Seems like she's been struggling since she was young, so she should take several years to carefully heal.
