On the heels of the confirmed suicides of two incredibly successful people who the world loved; one a fashion entrepreneur and the other a food journalist, Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain respectively, it has become even more imperative to have an open discourse about mental health and depression.
Although it was mental awareness month only last month, however; beyond recognition of the month set aside for this, there is obviously an increasing need to keep speaking about depression. Social media messages about “checking on your strong friend,” have been rolling around and we think it’s an absolute necessity.
Fashion entrepreneur and rapper, MoCheddah recently took to social media to reveal her own 4-year battle with depression, also adding that she wishes she had gotten help sooner. She gives excellent advice for victims currently going through depression and other related mental health issues. She also listed a few helpful centers within Nigeria that people can contact should they need assistance in this area.
