Nollywood actress Chacha Eke has highlighted some symptoms of mental illness.
The mother of four, who has been campaigning for mental health cases, revealed this in a video shared via her Instagram page.
According to her, if one has anger issues, he or she feels bitter & saddened to the extent that they inflict injuries on themselves or others, and is out of touch with reality, then they are battling with mental illness.
Chacha Eke went on to reveal that a certain lady, who was suffering from a mental illness set herself on fire.
She added if the lady had sought medical attention, she wouldn’t have set her house on fire.
She said;
“If you have anger issues, I am talking temper, the one that wouldn’t go away until you take out your vexation on something or someone else, you have a mental illness.
If you feel bitter and saddened to the extent that you inflict injury on yourself, you have got a mental illness.
If you are out of touch with reality, you have paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions and the mood swings never end, that’s a mental illness.
If you recognize one, two, or more of the traits that I mentioned in yourself and for fear of being stigmatized. You refuse to align with the truth.
You will be doing yourself a great disservice. Mental illness can be inherited or acquired. Intense trauma, poverty, and living a hectic lifestyle can give one mental illness. If you fall under this category please seek medical attention”.
