A former THISDAY Money Market Correspondent, Mrs Linda Eroke, has announced that her book on depression and possible remedies will soon be presented to the public.
In a statement, she said the rising cases of depression world-wide were a concern for everyone.
She said, “Depression is a mental disorder affecting millions of people in the world and must be taken seriously. More importantly, the current economic situation in Nigeria has significantly increased the rate of depression and reduced the awareness rate.”
The author explained that low awareness rate was a major cause of mental health disorder in the country, which in most cases was recognised as mental illness.
The author of the book entitled, “Revealed! 9 Ways I Overcame Depression with Zero Budget,” noted that many people were affected by depression without knowing.
According to her, “depression cuts across different strata in the society,” noting that “depression is a silent battle, which if left untreated can result to suicide.”
Stressing the need for those affected to speak out and seek help, Eroke-okafor observed that people affected by depression most often faked being okay even when they were not.
She noted that depression was most times underrated but those that were affected came out stronger with help and support.
She said the book, which would be launched on March 31st was apt, given the current economic situation of the country.
She said that the book which was an ebook would be available after launch at http://selar.co
