''I felt stuck in a never-ending circle of despair throughout that time. It got more difficult for me to interact with the world around me. Even basic things appeared to be impossible,'' he said.

Cause of Lawyer Nti's depression

He stated that the extra strain he put on himself to attain more success played a role in his emotional trauma.

''I had set lofty objectives for myself, and when I failed to meet them, I began to doubt my own worth. It was a period of intense self-reflection during which I confronted my limitations and wrestled with emotions of insignificance,'' he revealed.

The entertainer said that desperation pushed him to seek optimism in unusual places, including what is known in Ghanian parlance as 'juju.'

''Depression is something that someone has to identify early to deal with it ... People exhibit the disorder in many forms; some withdraw from people,'' she told YEN.com.gh.

''We have individual differences, and our biological makeup is different. Hence, people act differently. Those who suffer from depression need the help of a counsellor, therapist, or psychologist,'' she advised.
