Bukky Wright Credits Her Children for Helping Her Overcome Depression
Veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has revealed how her children played a crucial role in helping her navigate a difficult period of depression.
Speaking in an interview with Teju Babyface, Wright shared that she once relied on antidepressants but was eventually able to stop using them with the support of her children. She described them as her biggest critics and strongest support system.
“There was a time I was depressed, and I was on antidepressants. But my children had to wean me off them,” she said. “They have always been my number one critics. I don’t know if I should call them the pillars of my life, but they are everything to me.”
The actress added that her children encouraged her to prioritize her own happiness after years of dedicating herself to them.
“They told me, ‘Iya, you have lived your life for us, but now it’s time to live for yourself. Enjoy yourself and have fun,’” she recounted.
Wright’s revelation sheds light on the importance of family support in overcoming personal struggles, as she continues to embrace a fulfilling life beyond her past challenges.
