The melena, the acute depression, the transcranial stimulations: Fedez talks about the disease and his mental health ly

How is Fedez? “Good compared to before” hospital stay. But the rapper says today in an interview with Corriere della Sera that he lost a lot of blood: “Half the blood that I had in my body.” The most absurd thing is that I had an overseas flight that morning. If I hadn’t realized what was happening, I would have gotten sick at sea, on the plane to Los Angeles, and I don’t know how it would have turned out. Federico Leonardo Lucia suddenly became ill. The endoscopy he underwent led to emergency surgery. Professor Massimo Falconi, who was treating him for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor at the time, ruled out any connection with the disease. Then the rapper went under the knife a second time. Finally, the resignation from the Sacco-Fatebenefratelli Hospital.

“I shit blood”

Fedez tells Aldo Cazzullo how he realized he was sick. “I was at home, I had put the children to bed. I had already had a drop in blood pressure, then my blood pressure increased even further and I fainted. Then I called the ambulance. I was very white, not that I’m exactly like Carlo Conti now, but in short, I was even whiter than I am now. I spent the night in the emergency room and in the morning I realized I had Melena. What is Melena? “Literally: “I shit blood”. And my blood count was 7 instead of 14. So they intervened urgently to stop the bleeding, cauterize, in short, do everything necessary to stop the ulcers from bleeding. I also had to receive two transfusions: In addition to thanking the doctors, especially Dr. Marco Antonio Zappa, the nurses of Fatebenefratelli who treated me, I would like to thank all the blood donors.”

Mental health

Then he announces: “As soon as I get my strength back, I want to do something for Avis, invite others to donate blood; Without these transfusions, I personally wouldn’t be here talking to you. The second time he went under the knife, he instead suffered “an ischemic hemorrhage, again in the stomach.” There is a connection with the clinical precedents: “Due to a tumor, I had to undergo a resection of the head of the pancreas, the duodenum, the removal of the Gallbladder and a piece of intestine: It is possible that where there are any, the ulcers formed during this operation will puncture. But the truth is that I’ve had other health problems this summer, so much so that I’ve lost a lot of weight in the last few months. He had psychosomatic disorders: “First shingles, then stress-related gastritis.”

The level

Fedez explains that “stress is a condition that is not related to a person’s social class or money.” Just because we are rich does not make us immune to anxiety or emotional stress. In my case, being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the age of 33 is the main reason. And if you think about it, illnesses are like Totò’s level: they don’t look at anyone, and they also bring mental health effects that can be really important. He says he had serious problems: “I had to face them, I’m still facing them.” I have no shame or embarrassment to talk about it. I had an acute depression and it helped me a lot to listen to other people’s experiences, i.e. how others were or were confronted with a terrible diagnosis.

Young people

Fedez says he accepted Francesca Fagnani’s invitation to Belve to talk about it. Because “mental health is an issue that affects many young people, both boys and girls.” Maybe after listening to me, a person who believes they are happy because they have everything would feel less feels alone or that he says to himself: Well, then it can really happen to anyone. Finding a reference helped me a lot: when I discovered the disease, I looked for someone who had the same or similar situation as me.” He says that when he discovered pancreatic cancer, he went to Google and received a death sentence .

The disease

Then he spoke to Gianluca Vialli: “We both struggled with pancreatic cancer and I had to undergo the same operation as him.” It was the first time I cried on the phone with a person I had never met. It was a very powerful thing. Vialli was a fantastic person. He was very close to me both before and after the operation.” He returns to Belve to tell him that Rai didn’t want him because “I wasn’t welcome.” And they made a statement that I found really uncomfortable . Do you know why? Because I was in the hospital, literally dying, with no chance to respond. I also found it particularly negligent on a human level. And then I had learned one thing from Rai: When you go on stage to talk about politicians, Rai doesn’t like it because there is no cross-examination. But even in my case there was no possibility of cross-examination. That is why I note that it is a one-sided regulation that they only apply when they want to.”

chemotherapy

Regarding the illness, he explains that he is not undergoing chemotherapy. “There are no more cancer cells in my body, but there is obviously no medication that is 100% safe.” For example, with regard to relapses. Maybe that’s why I had an acute depression, which resulted in a hypomanic attack.” That means: “In the end, you completely lose clarity.” To treat myself, I started taking psychotropic drugs, which, however, are sometimes not without side effects. To treat the side effects of one drug, they then prescribe another drug, and so on. The result was that I stuttered, trembled and could no longer think clearly. I got to a point where I suddenly had to stop everything, which caused what is known as a rebound effect.

The psychiatrist and the psychotherapist

Today he is cared for by a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist. But he also tried transcranial stimulation: “These are electromagnetic shocks to the brain.” An annual cycle will soon be completed. He goes back to the hospital stay: “Hospitalization allows you to rearrange your priorities, the illness makes you understand who the people are who are really close to you, who are really important to you.” It’s very nice , to discover these people, and less pleasant to discover the absence of others.” Then he says: “Behind the characters are people with their own weaknesses.” If I live today in a situation of economic privilege, even a certain power, that means not that I don’t have to suffer while I’m in the hospital and there are people who wish me dead. In fact, it’s very painful.”

The Fantamorto

He says he was sad when he found out he had joined the Fantamorto game. “Those who bet on me hoped to win. That hurt me.” And he comes to the conclusion: “Ultimately, in certain situations, social background and privilege don’t play a role: we’re all human.” And because I have to find meaning in all of this so that it’s not just pain , I hope that my experiences can help build something beautiful for others, that they can help those who are or are facing similar things as I experienced and live.
