My Children Saved Me from Depression – Bukky Wright

Renowned Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has opened up about her battle with depression, revealing how her children played a vital role in helping her overcome the difficult phase.

Speaking in an interview with Teju Babyface, the veteran actress expressed deep gratitude to her children, describing them as the pillars of her life.

“Let me say that there was a time I was depressed, and I was taking antidepressants. But my children had to wean me off them,” she said.

Wright further revealed that her children have always been her biggest critics but also her greatest supporters.

“I don’t know if I could call them my pillars of life. They know that I would live my life for them. So, they tell me, ‘Hey, Iya, you have been living your life for us, but it is now time to live for yourself. Enjoy yourself and have fun.’”
