Bipolar Disorder

 "Alive to fight another day, alive in every single way." This is what Gab Valenciano wrote on
Instagram, week after revealing to his followers that he had spent six long days at a hospital for
mental health reasons. Gab, who is the son of Gary Valenciano and Angeli Pangilinan, shared a first
photo of him with his parents while resting, days after admitting to having bipolar disorder and
clinical depression. He dubbed his parents his "pillars of peace, love, and strength," and thanked
them for being there after just "one call."

He also highlighted those who have been "fighting these invisible wars," and to those who support
the cause of bringing mental health into the majority of the public's awareness. “I isolated myself
and kept it all in until one day it just exploded," he said. "And so that is why I am very open about it
now because I do not want anybody to have to go through that."
