Ex-Big Brother Africa housemate, Actress, and Model, Beverly Osu recently shared her thoughts on depression and how she copes with it.

In a post which she shared on her Instagram page, she gives her thoughts on mental health, how she copes with depression and how Nigerians can help others who are suffering from something similar

She wrote, “You don’t understand depression until you can’t stand your own presence in an empty room. When you are alone, you reflect then over think, then regret and become depressed. Everyone ( celebrities, Youths, old, rich & poor) experiences a mental illness ( anxiety, stress disorder, paranoia etc) but yet it’s laughed upon and overlooked, just so you know depression is not a decision, it’s a disorder .. we live in a society that is still deeply confused about mental illness.. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 8 million people die each year from it. .. HOW DO WE HANDLE IT? -You can help by providing more happiness to everyone. You never know what someone is going through.. — I feed my soul with the word of God when I feel it creeping in #beverlysays
