I Use Music To Battle Depression – Manifest

Ghanaian rapper, M.anifest talks about how he fights depression. According to him, he uses music as a tool to fight depression. He made these statements on Starr Drive.

“I’m fortunate enough to have something that is easy for catharsis, that’s music. when I’m making music I can put pain, I can put joy, I can put all these things into them so it helps a certain level of release.”

“I tend to be a person who also likes to be by myself so I can understand how being depressed is, because I do not want to talk to people sometimes” 

Moreover, he added that

“for me I’m fortunate that I have enough key people around me who I can be vulnerable around and not feel the need to be putting up appearances as to who I am. I think the hardest thing about feeling pain is not being able to share it honestly with certain people.”

Also he advised people out there who have issues with depression to seek help and support.

“It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Don’t let these people mock you because ‘they want to get retweets for twitter’”
