Luna Wong died after receiving mental health treatment while studying in the UK
Luna Wong, a student from Hong Kong, died in the United Kingdom following a period of severe mental health struggles and medication use.
Life before political unrest
As a young teen, Luna Wong enjoyed walking to a bridge near her home in Hong Kong to watch the city lights. She expressed her observations through photography, capturing landscapes and ordinary corners that others missed. Her interest in the world around her was deep until political events changed her life.
Impact of lockdowns on health
Political unrest in 2019 followed by Covid lockdowns confined Luna to her family flat for a prolonged period. She stopped sleeping properly and began having panic attacks after the world opened up again. Her psychiatrist prescribed antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, sleeping pills, ADHD medication, and an anti-psychotic drug.
Consequences of heavy medication
The combination of prescription drugs left her lethargic during the day while she often remained awake at night. This treatment also caused weight gain which distressed her significantly. Luna retained her curious streak despite these challenges before her death.
