  • Deyemi Okanlawon calls for more awareness to reduce depression In Nigeria

    Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okalawon has shared his thoughts on depression in Nigeria. The talented actor in his Instagram post noted that he spent hours talking to his colleague who is depressed.

    He said depression is real and shouldn’t be confused with sadness.

    Acccording to him: “I hesitate to post this but believe that someone out here will be helped by this… spent 2 hours talking to the colleague. Depression (not to be confused with being sad) is real and if you ever feel like you’re at your lowesr please note the following:

    1. Change your perspective – You’re not alone, everyone has some form of drama in their lives. There are people out there who have the common sense to know all you need is someone to actually listen. Find them.
      2. Review expectations – perhaps the pressure you feel is by setting expectations you are yet without the capacity to achieve. Relax, give more time, slow things down.
      3. Remove limitations – as humans we tend to box ourselves into one particular thing or way of getting things done – mindset, career, etc. As humans we’re a limitless permutation of possibilities. Become more.
      Try these – Watch comedies, take walks, hang out with friends, read books, start a journal, exercise, speak to and encourage yourself, do whatever it takes to rekindle hope and stay positive”.
