Sonnie Badu opens up on battling depression in the US

A Ghanaian preacher and gospel artiste based in the US has opened up about some challenges he dealt with while in the US.

He claimed to have suffered from severe depression, spending many hours by himself in his office, talking to no one, and being consumed by his problems.

He said that the situation got to the point where he considered hurting himself.

However, the well-being of his six young children gave him the strength to push through these difficult times.

In an interview with Asempa FM, Sonnie Badu also disclosed that Rev. Eastwood Anaba played a crucial role in helping him overcome his depression after God revealed his struggles to the astute man of God.

“I battled depression for almost six months. Sometimes, I would stay in my office alone for 12 hours with the lights off, not wanting to talk to anyone. It was really bad, but during that time, I wrote a song. The thought of harming myself crossed my mind once or twice.

“But thinking about my six children made it difficult. They are young, and if something happened to me, that would be my biggest concern. That thought gave me hope. The painful part was having to pay my bills, and you know how the US system is. All the bills come after buying a house. I had to pray, lay hands, and seek counseling. Rev. Eastwood was the one God used to redeem me,” he stated.
