Overseasidol.com — Martial arts superstar Jet Li has stepped away from the big screen in recent years.

He is now fully committed to raising awareness about mental health. His decision was deeply influenced by his youngest daughter, Jada, who has struggled with depression for many years.

In an interview, Jet Li admitted that he once lacked understanding about mental illness.

He realized its seriousness only after witnessing Jada’s condition worsen over time.

Since then, he has aimed to use his public influence to encourage greater awareness and acceptance of mental health issues.

According to Jet Li, Jada first showed symptoms at the age of seven. She often felt anxious and down, but the family initially dismissed it as a trivial matter.

By the time she was 13, her depression had worsened, leading to a suicide attempt. At 19, she continued to battle both depression and autism.

Jet Li confessed that he felt completely helpless at times and did not know how to communicate with his daughter.
