Actress Hwang Bo-ra's mother has been diagnosed with severe depression, not dementia.

On the 1st, a video titled "Hwang Bo-ra was shocked after visiting her maternal grandmother and a psychiatrist due to suspected dementia | Twilight parenting, postpartum depression" was uploaded to Hwang Bo-ra's YouTube channel. In the video, Hwang Bo-ra took her mother, who suffers from habitual forgetfulness, to a hospital for a detailed examination.

She said, "It was really difficult to persuade my mother. Once we arrived, I became worried. My maternal grandmother had passed away, so we went down together, but as soon as my mother got there, she started saying strange things. She asked where our house address was. After a detailed examination, the doctor said it was due to psychological factors. My mother used to dress well, but she stopped because of the stress of raising children," expressing her sorrow.

Ultimately, Hwang Bo-ra's mother underwent cognitive function tests, autonomic nervous system tests, and brain MRI scans as part of a systematic dementia examination. The specialist diagnosed, "Forgetfulness is a temporary condition. She is in a state of severe depression. She is emotionally unstable but unable to express it, so it manifests as depression. Your mother's frontal lobe function has declined. She must have experienced significant stress from raising children. Mistakes are occurring repeatedly."

Hearing this, Hwang Bo-ra's mother said, "I am under a lot of stress because of my daughter. In places with many people, I have so much I want to say. I want to express myself, but I can't because my daughter is a celebrity. The whole family is like that," revealing the difficulties of having an entertainment celebrity family as in-laws, including Kim Yong-geon and Ha Jung-woo.

The specialist advised regarding Hwang Bo-ra's mother, "The phenomenon of feeling like you are not yourself momentarily is transient amnesia. Even ordinary people experience this frequently, especially during intense emotional states. Based on the current situation, the probability of developing dementia in her remaining years is less than 20%. If the current stress is not managed, it could worsen. I recommend starting with light walks or exercising together with family," drawing attention.
