Nigerian actress Dakore Egbuson-Akande has shared her personal battle with postpartum depression and her journey towards recovery.
In an interview on the podcast series With Chude, Dakore, a multi-brand ambassador and award-winning actress, delved into her mental health struggles and the path she took to overcome them.
Reflecting on her seemingly perfect life and the challenges she faced after becoming a mother, the actress revealed, “I had some slight complications after the birth of my daughter. I was in a sad state, and I just slipped into postnatal depression. I didn’t even realise it when it started happening.”
It was a conversation with an older friend that helped Dakore identify the underlying cause of her mood swings.
