Kenyan gospel artiste Betty Bayo has spoken out about her experiences with depression, a condition she has been open about in recent years.
Published on October 24, 2019, on her YouTube channel, Betty Bayo shared her story, revealing that she had struggled with depression but didn't reveal the reasons behind it at the time.
'Someone might ask if I have ever been depressed and I would say, yes I have,' she said. 'I knew I was depressed after I attended a wedding only to realize that I had worn slippers. I had not combed my hair nor had I applied lotion on myself.'
Betty Bayo further explained that she managed to overcome her depression with time and support, and that she would eventually open up about what drove her to that state.
'In my mind, I knew that before I left home I had planned on attending a wedding but I did not plan on attending while looking unkempt. Thankfully I overcame my depression, with time I will open up on what drove me there in the first place and how I overcame that phase,' she added.
