(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 27 - Mental health is not properly
considered in Italy, rapper Fedez told students in Turin Tuesday
recounting his own recent struggles while battling cancer.
"Mental and physical health should go hand in hand but mental
health is not considered in this country," the rapper told the
370 students at the northern city's Readers' Club.
"I faced a very rare tumour in the pancreas and I had to reckon
with death despite being a privileged person. In that period I
had the worst experience with psychoactive drugs. I was taking
no fewer than seven of them and the doctor who was giving them
to me didn't understand that I was ill".
Fedez, 34, is reportedly now going through a break-up with
36-year-old influencer Chiara Ferragni.
The couple have been married since 2019 and have two kids.
