Beverly Osu talks depression in new post

The former Big Brother Africa housemate, and model took to her page to write a piece on depression and how to handle it.

Here's what 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 over looked , 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."
