Mental health is not properly considered in Italy, rapper Fedez told students in Turin Tuesday counting his own recent struggles while battling cancer.
“Mental and physical health should go hand in hand but mentalhealth is not considered in this country,” the rapper told the370 students at the northern city's Readers' Club.
“I faced a very rare tumor 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.
