Shirley Yeung suffers from postpartum depression

Shirley Yeung was 2001's Miss Hong Kong, yesterday TVB hosted the Miss Hong Kong 2012 Recruit promotional event and Virgina Lok invited her to attend as well, but she turned down the offer because she was sick. Virgina had always given her full support to Shirley ever since the news broke out that Shirley was an unmarried mother. When Shirley brought her daughter with her back to HK, Virgina made a special early trip to the airport to pick her up and assisted her in handling the media. Several days after Shirley's return to HK, she had been avoiding reporters and even avoided her manager. Yesterday when Virgina mentioned Shirley's current situation, she was very worried and hoped she can get back up and face the problem, then get back to work.

Shirley has been suffering from the flu for 8 days now, Virgina invited her out for breakfast once, but she didn't go. She said she talked to Shirley over the phone, and believed she's feeling emotional, upset and may perhaps have postpartum depression. Initially, Virgina wanted to meet with her as soon as possible, so her problems could be resolved, and also discuss of her upcoming work schedule, but because of her flu, Shirley has not been back at TVB. After Virgina found out about Shirley's situation, she suggested that she go see the doctor, but she only responded that she can do that.

Virgina frankly said she is worried about Shirley, "Initially I told her to attend the event today, so she can come and out and see everyone, but she's so sick she can't get up However, her voice wasn't hoarse over the phone, I just feel she has some depression, postpartum depression and should see the doctor." Her parents are currently helping her look after baby Krystal and whenever Shirley's manager has documents for her, her father would be the one accepting them on her behalf. She is still emotionally down and aside from advising Shirley to see the doctor, Virgina hopes she can get back up again and get back into work, distracting herself from the emotions is the best treatment. Virgina continued: "Shirley doesn't want to see anyone. when I invited her out for breakfast, she couldn't even do that. I do feel a little frustrated seeing her like this, but at the same time I feel she's very miserable. There are somethings we must discuss and resolve. I'm not close with her mother either, so it's difficult to handle."

As Shirley is currently news worthy and draws attention, she has been invited to take part in shopping mall events as well as stage performances. Virgina said jobs are under discussion, but as of now, she will have to see what Shirley's condition is. Up until today, no contract has been signed. Virgina is worried that Shirley may be unstable and that she may need to compensate for the losses, so all along no jobs have been confirmed for her. The highest possible first job after Shirley's pregnancy is a shopping mall promotional event, the 'comeback' is also especially meaningful to her.

After Shirley had her daughter, she decided to go back to HK and get back to work, hoping for to achieve something. That's probably why she decided to announce the good news about her daughter and even shared a photo with the public. However, due to the earlier incident where she first broke up with long time boyfriend Gregory Lee, hooked up with new love interest Andy Ng and then denying that she was pregnant, her reputation turned negative since then. To Shirley, a comeback must be a great impacton her. The other day, it was rumored when Shirley and Andy were together, Andy had another girlfriend in Mainland, and said that Shirley's mother often urged Shirley to buy a home with Andy. The negative rumors indeed has been troubling Shirley. Since she posted a photo of her and her baby on Weibo after returning to HK, Shirley started isolating herself and didn't post again.
