Ritawhich has previously stated that she has suffered PTSD (post-traumatic stress) and panic attacks after her mother’s “battle” with cancer has revealed that she is now suffering from hypochondriac and regularly check-up.

Illness stress, also known as hypochondria, is a mental state that affects the quality of life of many people. Those who experience it are overly worried about their health and believe that they may have serious medical diseases, despite the lack of objective medical findings for it. Pressants tend to interpret even physiological physical symptoms as signs of serious health problems. This interpretation leads to constant visits to doctors and endless exams, which usually reveal nothing worrying.

Elsewhere the artist noted: “I wanted to be with her all the time, but she wanted to go to school. You know, I was going to a very good school that they paid, along with all the treatments he did and it was a very difficult time for my parents. ”

Rita Ora said, seeing the whole process of treatment of her mother’s treatment, she also influenced her own health and began to go to doctors many times. “The percentage and statistics on breast cancer are crazy and that certainly worried me and made me exam and go for regular tests. I definitely wanted to be there for her, so I didn’t realize that this was a problem until I started treatment. I was thinking: ” Maybe I go to doctors many times ”. But I think that’s why, because I saw this happen and the whole process of treatment. “

The singer added that her mother also has PTSD and “endless fear” every time she goes for regular exams, as there is always the script and fear “what would happen if”. “God knows how he should feel that he has passed, but yes, it is an endless fear that will happen when you have this experience that changes your life.”
