Amid his debacle with Vanessa, Funny Face was admitted to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital in 2021 to be treated for depression.

In September 2024, he was sent to the Pantang Hospital for more treatment after another bout of attacks on Vanessa over their children.

Since his release in October 2024, Funny Face has been moving with Kwaku Manu, who has vowed to help him recover.

Psychotherapist Dr Kingsley Owusu has advised against the two pairing for the project. According to him, Funny Face's issue even though can be managed can take a turn for the worst if stress and the situation with his baby mama are not dealt with properly.

"From what I know from the media space, Funny Face is said to have bipolar disorder... so he can swing from a mania episode to a depression episode. I don't have many details about his diagnosis. It could be genetic or environmental factors (such as the baby mama, stress). Any of these can trigger his condition and make things worse" he said

"As you know, bipolar can not be cured, it can only be managed. One key way of managing it is to avoid the triggers. So if you ask me, putting Vanessa and him together could be a trigger, especially if she is the cause of his condition." he added.
