On New Year’s Day, I watched actors Funny Face and Akrobeto engage in friendly banter on UTV as they presented ‘Real News’ review of the year 2020 with Jackie Appiah. I watched with unease as Funny Face desperately tried to explain to Akrobeto that depression is not madness. He also tried to explain (albeit not so rightly) that, all creative people have some level of mental illness, and that receiving psychological treatment, implies you are not mad. This gave me the impetus to begin something I have long desired to do. That is; to demystify mental illness, reduce stigma and encourage people to seek professional help.
