“Celebrities have mental health issues due to the pressures from fans, and seeking unnecessary validations from the public.
“For me, I keep everything in check and I don’t follow the crowd. Nothing bothers me or gets to me, because I understand what I was getting into when I joined the industry.
“What also helps to keep my mental health in check is being content and staying focused on my personal growth. Anytime I feel stressed, I find someone to talk to, and once I let it all out, I’m absolutely fine. I know it’s not easy with some people, because they don’t have anybody to confide in.”
