I wrecked all properties my family ever had during manic episodes, Chacha Eke opens up

Popular Nollywood actress, Chahcha Eke has opened up on her experiences and struggles with her mental health.

The advocate for mental issues disclosed her several ordeals during one of her outreach organised for people with mental health issues. 

The mother of four shared how she destroys properties during her maniac disorder episodes and how her family did not have any property at a time because she would destroy them in a matter of time. 

“To be frank if the disorder that I have been battling with didn’t sufficiently disgrace me to the point that it has, chances are I won’t be here championing it.

“My psychiatrist was my biggest nightmare, I wish I could kill him because it was him for the first time after years of man!c episodes, after years of violence, it was from his mouth I heard the name of what was wrong with me and I was pained.

“I felt an ugly experience in Enugu in the Rit Hotel where I smashed everything, wrecked the whole hotel, and reduced everything that my family had to only what we were wearing. I went untreated.

“Two years we came to Asaba and I had another man!c. This time I wrecked the whole house. It was a habit, at some point we didn’t have house properties because it was only a matter of months before I wreck it.

“He took me to FDAH and after some days, he came and gave me the verdict, the diagnosis. I didn’t like taking drugs so I flushed them down the toilet when they discharged me. I had another relapse and they put me back in the hospital”. She said in part.”, she shared.
