"I hid the disease out of fear!" - Actress Ana Lika recounts the

Renowned Albanian actress Ana Lika has shared a rare and touching story about one of the most difficult periods of her life.

After losing her mother, Ana Lika has revealed that she faced a serious health and emotional crisis, which coincided with the time she learned that she would become a mother.

"After my mother's death, I was diagnosed with a neurological problem, a form of epilepsy," Ana said on the show "Mam," adding that she had experienced an epileptic seizure for the first time during her daughter's first checkup.

She admitted that for a long time she was afraid to publicly admit the illness, as she did not want her daughter to have an incompetent mother.

"While doing the ultrasound, I had a crisis. I was afraid to show that I was sick. Not because I felt sorry for myself, but because I didn't want my daughter to have an incompetent mother," she said.

Due to medication treatment, the actress says she made the decision not to breastfeed her daughter Marvel.

She also spoke about her relationship with her partner, Bjordi, where she told him about the disease for the first time and even asked him if he wanted to be together again.

" I asked him if he wanted to stay with me. I wanted to know if I weighed him down. I didn't want to be a burden to anyone," she said, describing Bjordi as her "pillar," while expressing herself: " Maybe I'm Bjordi's help, exactly."

@orindahuta_ Today on Mam we have mom Ana Liken. It will be absolutely one of the most touching episodes and a call to those girls and women who suffer from the same disease that Ana was diagnosed with only the last 3 years. In its mildest form but enough to turn your world upside down and stop you from living your previous life. How would she tell Bjordi? Would he accept this? She didn't want to weigh anyone down, especially the love of her life. And when they found out they were expecting a baby it would be the most beautiful news but the fear was there. Due to the doctor's negligence, Ana experiences her first full-blown epileptic seizure as she hears her baby's heartbeat for the first time.. a stronger epilepsy would follow from the immediate discontinuation of medication.. and thus this situation would cause mom Ana not to fully experience every stage with her daughter and for this she would even be judged.. today for the first time on Mam she answers many of the prejudices that occur among mothers even without knowing that they may have a health background... Today, Ana gives messages of hope and love.. so don't miss it at 19:00 #youtube #orindahuta #subscribe #mothehood #epilepsyawareness #love ♬ original sound – Orinda Huta
