JB Masanduku, a renowned TV comedian, has opened up about his ongoing struggle with depression. In an interview with Nairobi News, Masanduku said that he has been grappling with his mental health for several months, and that he has been masking his true feelings in front of his friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

“I am not okay, and this has led me to seek solace in alcohol just to find temporary relief,” he said.<\/p>\n

Masanduku’s brave admission sheds light on the harsh reality of depression, a condition that affects countless individuals, regardless of their public image or success.<\/p>\n

The comedian also expressed regret about his career choice in comedy. “Fame brought with it a multitude of negativity, and I find myself deeply regretting being in the limelight,” he said. “People pass judgment on you every day, and even during difficult times, you fear seeking help.”<\/p>\n

Masanduku’s story is a reminder that depression can affect anyone, regardless of their circumstances. If you are struggling with depression, please know that you are not alone. There are many resources available to help you, and you do not have to go through this alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
