Celebrated Nollywood Actor, Hanks Anuku, has opened up on battling depression

According to Mr. Anuku, rumours that he has mental illness is not true. However, he shared that he engages in alcohol consumption as a means of dealing with the challenges of his ongoing battle with depression.

The Actor who has been in the media spotlight due to the viral reports and videos expressing his concerns about his mental well-being, addressed the issue in a widely circulated Instagram video.

The actor said: “Yes, depression makes me drink but I never take hard drugs, I don’t take hard drugs at all.

“Out of depression, I did not have a job for years, I was thinking about my children, their school fees and their welfare among other things and you know what it is like when it gets to that point.

“I call it a breaking point, I was broken to pieces and I had to go drinking and that is it,” the 63-year-old said.
