Kung malala na po, seek help. Walang masamang humingi ng tulong,” she said. </p><div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialKBrosas/videos/10155011428322423/" data-width="auto"> </div><p>Brosas shared her live video after she revealed on “Tawag ng Tanghalan” that she is struggling with anxiety disorder.</p><p>“Ngayon ko lang ito aaminin sa telebisyon… Meron po akong anxiety disorder for ten years.
