Nollywood actor Jamiu Azeez has spoken on his battle with depression for over two years over the downturn of his career and finances.

Azeez said he has been suffering from depression for over two years but afraid to seek help due to fear of mockery.

His post comes days after the death of actress Jumoke Aderounmu.

The vibrant actor shared his conversation with Toyin Abraham, stating he was unsure of who to confide in.

According to him: “Mummy Ire, @toyin_abraham, I know this might catch you off guard but I simply had to do this. You over looked the fact that we don’t really talk but you shown me so much love and gives me an assurance that everything is going to be fine.

“The past two years have been a whirlwind for me like I’ve been losing everything, even my Mind. Thoughts of “Suicide” have been ringing in my head.

“The fear of being mocked kept me silent. Nothing seemed to work, and I felt lost, unsure of who to confide in.

“But the truth is, I grew tired of putting on a brave face and pretending to be okay.

“So, yesterday, I mustered the courage to reach out to @toyin_abraham and her response left me speechless. I feel compelled to express my deepest gratitude openly.

“I’ve prayed for her countless times but now I ask for your prayers too, please help me pray for @toyin_abraham and her family.”
