Chrysa Ropa: 'I was taking medication, I gained 15 kilos' - The battle with depression

Chrysa Ropa spoke about the period when she faced depression and her need to isolate herself for a year in Epidaurus.

The actress revealed that during this period, due to medication, she gained 15 kilos. As she characteristically said: 'I am a very good cook, but it is my choice to be thin. With some medication I took, I had gained 15 kilos'.

The crisis was triggered by depression, with her stating: 'I went and sat for a year in Epidaurus, I rented a house. It was quiet, in the winter there were no people, the sea was two steps away. I wanted to be alone. I wrote a lot, I wrote. It was the depression of the sum'.

Subsequently, Michalis Reppas suggested that she return to acting, with her calling him an 'angel'. Specifically, he suggested that she play in 'The Curse of Gela Delaphranga'.
