According to HK Channel, the actress has been spending a month of break back home in Canada after being diagnosed with the symptoms back in October, which she reportedly had due to pressure from the media after being accused to be the third party in Lynn Hung and Aaron Kwok's relationship.
"At first, I thought that I was just fat and focused on losing weight. But it hurts when people laughed at me for how I look. I didn't know that there were issues with my thyroid glands until I went to see a doctor," said Christine, who wrapped up filming "Tiger Cubs 2" three months ago.
She admitted to have been depressed from her weight struggles, and thanked her family and friends in Canada who supported her.
"My mood changed when I was in Canada, since there was not much pressure there," said the actress, who has also been consuming medicine to control her condition.
Hypothyroidism, not to be confused with hyperthyroidism, is an endocrine disorder whereby the thyroid glands do not produce enough thyroid hormones.
