On August 8th, while performing “Seven Hundred Years Later” at a concert in Macau, Eason Chan suddenly pressed his chest and began to dry heal, his expression agonizing.
Many netizens said this was a typical somatization symptom of anxiety disorder, and urged Eason to rest and recuperate.
Earlier, at the premiere of a documentary on August 5th, Eason Chan stated that he suffered from anxiety after the Hangzhou concert due to excessive stress. He became nervous whenever he stopped taking his medication, and he was afraid to stop.
He said that after the Hangzhou concert was canceled, he was so stressed that his doctor prescribed medication (which the doctor said had no side effects). He continues to take it, and the doctor recommended that he stop taking it after the tour.
During the tour, he occasionally tried to stop taking his medication, but the effects were noticeable, and he immediately became nervous again. Even if he slept well and was in a good mood that day, he would still feel nervous without the medication. He believes this is just a chemical reaction in his body, and he can’t control it. So he continues to take it until he decides to stop after the tour.
