Ghanaian songstress MzVee has in an exclusive interview, revealed that depression forced her to leave the music scene for two years.
According to the musician whose sabbatical triggered pregnancy rumours last year, she was “super depressed” between 2017 and 2018 to the extent that her situation negatively affected her professional relationship.
She said,
” “I was super, super depressed in 2017/2018”,
“When my whole depression thing happened I did un-follow people…I just wanted time away. I was lashing out in ways I didn’t even understand…I pulled away from everyone…I coiled up in my shell,” she revealed.
She described her experience with depression as “the craziest thing”, noting that there were times she “laid on the floor and cried several times”.
How did she survive?
MzVee said despite her condition, she did not seek the help of a psychologist or therapist.
Rather, she said her colleague songstress, Efya, who she described as her best friend, was the one who helped her to overcome the depression.
“Efya is amazing,” she said, indicating that it was Efya who understood her condition.
She also revealed how her family stood by her side and played a great deal of role in helping her out of her situation.
