General Hospital fans are well aware that Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) suffers from bipolar and anxiety. However, he found some was to cope. For example, he went for hypnotherapy for his fear of flying. However, he’s also got other precious things that help him cope.

The Best Things In Life

The real-life Sonny Corinthos went online on Wednesday and told his followers that he’s feeling good right now. In his Instagram post, he shared a reel of himself with his grandchild, Tiana, AKA TT.

She’s always so sweet and never fails to put a smile on her grandfather’s face. He asked her about “graduation yesterday,” but she didn’t want to talk about that because Maurice’s grandson Milo went to join them.
