Is Taking One’s Life Worth The Trouble? Ruth Osime - Lanre Olusola | Jane Michael Ekanem 

I stumbled on this topic, I love it. I have a personal experience and currently slip in and out. It is not awareness alone, it is sharing love with just "hello" Starting an Anonymous group for Mental Health is on my bucket list

Exercise is the key, It helps a lot, when I lost my brother and the next 2 days my best friend, I tut life was over, I will not be able to function alone, fear came in and everything around me became worthless, luckily for me, I was always at the gym, which played a major part of my bouncing back in my tut and health wise. I thank God for my life.

What is govt p9licy on mental health..what are resources eg for students atvall levels inckuding chidren..in employment abd industries..do we have an employee assistance programmme monitored withbstrict guidelines for help..aftet covid we actually need all this more

Woah!!! Just a random inspiring post saved her from attempting suicide the 2nd time. From now on, I will begin to post inspirational and soul lifting messages on my socials, starting by sharing this wonderful episode.

I pray for anyone having it difficult in one way or the other, may they find peace in God, may the good Lord ease the depression in Jesus name 🙏

We have to be open to fact our world has changed tremendously from innocent 60 70s and 80s and because life didnt improve through 90s we are now experiencing what many western countries have been facin however our economy is in dire straits

Before now, I blame anyone who committed suicide but currently I know better. It's a battle for everyone and not just those having the thoughts of suicide.

Thank you for this program. It made me call the student that I needed to reach out to.

The place of our creator in human existence is key. Depression is as real as night&day. Wealth doesn't give joy. What does it profit a man, to gain d world& loose his soul? Let's get connected to God. Just hearing His voice alone gives u assurance & dispels any form of depression. John 14:6, Isa. 41:10

Therapy in this part of the world is less spoken about and this needs to change as soon as possible.

Nigerian successful people will say their secret to success is: Grace,

Depression is near madness you think things are alright which is the opposite

What a pity, Arise TV presenter. It's a shame there's no psychiatrist (mental health physician) added to your panel? Yet you're talking about a mental health issue. Do you really know what you are doing? Your action reflects why Nigeria is the way it is. Hmmmmmmmmm

I personally urge people to open up more and talk to loved ones and even reach out to professionals when feeling depressed, suicide shouldn't be the solution. PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Being a Yoruba Boy, as I heard that taking pepper is very important, I just dey blush in pride 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I totally agree with Jane about empaths being the major victims of depression and suicidal thoughts.

I feel everyone regardless of class or status should take up a social hobby or something. For me playing football once or twice a week has been my therapy, it clears my head and gets me going from time to time.

Dr Lanre perfectly broke down the whole process of depression tho and anyone who was in that state at some point in life can easily relate. It's one crazy experience tbh and it's unfortunate that some people don't win the battle and end up committing suicide.

This Naija ehn, every single policy put out is basically set up to frustrate and destroy the people mentally. Even a failed attempt at suicide will be penalized with more activities that spikes up that same depression that led to the suicidal thoughts in the first place

Nigeria is a tough place because we as citizens have become so indiscipline in all ramifications of life...I do agree with the man and the lady..is a shame we don't show care to one another anymore today is like everyone has his or her own issues but that must not stop us from caring for others

Hugging at least 8x daily?? Omo from now on, na to dey hug everybody wey dey my circle o, even strangers for road sef 😁

Much appreciation to Aunty Ruth for this topic, the public needs to be aware of the importance of mental health and this episode has opened our eyes to real life mental health issues/battles.

Thank you so much for your informative contributions and suggestions Uncle Lanre, Aunty Ruth & Jane- Michael Ekanem ❤.

Lifestyle changes as stated in this episode is really important for a healthy mind and body.

A really great programme. Thank you Arise News.

Collectively, we all have roles to play in this mental health awareness and battle.

Life situation completely changes. That’s the best way to describe it. Thanks to you The Catalyst.

Super episode of the program.....thanks.

Depression is a spirit. The bible says, in Isaiah 61:3, " for the spirit of heaviness ( depression) , wear the garment of praise. Praise is a weapon of the spirit. Depression keeps you in that dark place, but praise will fight to take you out

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever! Seek him today, and make him the Lord of your life. In him we can find peace even in the midst of a storm! Material possessions mean NOTHING if there is no peace…peace can only be found in Christ!! Depression is real, please seek help, but most of all seek your peace in Christ! He made us and has given us a manual on how to live on this earth! SEEK JESUS AND KNOW PEACE!! Be “deeply rooted” in Christ just like the lady guest affirmed! To God be the Glory!!🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

That pepper theory don't make sense! My wife eats a lot of pepper but too afraid whenever we visit the hospital due to fear of injections 💉 For me, I don't eat pepper but me and injection be best friend’s plus I rarely feel cold but my wife who exercises more than I do, is always cold... During winter season, I'm partially covered.
