Nollywood actress, Ada Ameh, has disclosed what led to her mental health struggles and how she deals with it.
In an interview with TVC, ‘Your view’, the actress pointed out that depression has always been a part of her for a long time but it became worse when she lost her only child.
Ada stated that she felt the world was against her, crumbling before her when her daughter died.
She referred to her daughter as her best friend.
Ameh went further to say she lost seven more families and she thought she was next.
Ada said, “I have depression, I have been depressed for some years and it became very worse when I lost my daughter in 2020.
“I was 14 when I had her, she was my bestfriend, sister, I just saw my world crumbling down before me.
“I had lost 3 of my sister’s, 3 of my brothers and family. I thought I was going to be next when my younger sister died and I have been in and out of hospital.”
Speaking about her struggle with depression, she said getting medical help is the best anyone can opt for. “I get dms from people who want to commit suicide. Talk to a doctor, and get professional help.
“I used to leave Lagos to Calabar to get a doctor until I found one in Lagos.”
