“My Name Is Mulaza…I Have Struggled With Depression And Anxiety For Years. “I haven’t told too many people about it and the few that I have told tend to ask questions like “why are you depressed?”.. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. Waikopa?” he said in part.

He further that it is a bad mental disorder which people never pick from a victim’s face. The ‘Alabalansa’ hit maker explained that while sadness could be mistaken for depression, there exists a huge difference.

He divulged that talking about depression is difficult because people will always say “you have everything”. “The most common reaction is, ‘How can you be depressed? You have everything going for you.. Iwe yalibalansa’ ...Ubu bututu/ Ubufontini,” he divulged.

His lesson is that depression does not discriminate and that trying to hide it hurts more.
