Malaysian actress Yeo Yann Yann, 43, went through a dark period in her life about nine years ago, even though she was newly married then and had just given birth to her first child.

The award-winning actress had moved to Hong Kong to be with her husband, action director Ma Yuk Sing, after getting married in 2012 and did not have a support system over there to help her with her new baby Vera, who was born the same year.
