“Stop Using Depression As An Insult To People”- BBNaija’s Erica Says

Former BBNaija housemate, Erica Nlewedim, has asked her fans and social media users to desist from the habit of using depression as an insult to people.

According to her, depression is not a joke hence, when one realises someone is going through depression, they should direct them to the right avenues for treatment instead of using it as a means to annoy them. Erica made this known in a post sighted on her Instagram page.

Erica wrote;

“Stop joking about depression, stop using it as an insult to people. If you’re not sure someone is really depressed don’t say he/ she is and if you are sure, help the person by pointing them in the right direction for treatment”.

If readers will recall, during Erica’s stay in the BBNaija house, she opened up to Tolanibaj, Wathoni and Kiddwaya that her childhood contributed to her lifestyle and her mother was the reason behind her constant depression.

Stop joking about depression, stop using it as an insult to people. If you’re not sure someone is really depressed don’t say he/she is and if you are sure, help the person by pointing them in the right direction for treatment.
