Corazon Kwamboka has been through a lot in her life and her being a public figure makes everything she usually goes through in her private life go public easily.

The beautiful mother of two who is also an Advocate of the High Court of the Republic of Kenya confessed to being taking antidepressant medications, but she’s now off them.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, Corazon Kwamboka disclosed the reasons why she chose to stop taking the antidepressants with the major reasons being that they tend to make her angry all the time for no apparent reason.

“Yes, I had depression and I was given medicine and I took them for some time. I stopped it because it was making me angry. I took pills for some time, but I eventually stopped because I felt like I was getting these highs and lows. I went to the doctor and told him what I was feeling. He did a review of how I was feeling, and he told me that I was getting stable, and I actually got off the medication,” Kwamboka said in part.

The popular media personality who recently broke up with the mother of her two children Frankie “Just gym it” Kiarie expressed her gratitude to her house manager for helping pull herself through this emotional abyss that she was in.

Corazon Kwamboka mentioned that getting the second nanny really came through for her and she’s grateful for that because she’s helped her focus on herself as a mother and on her kids.

“The most important thing if you are dealing with depression and you’re seeing a doctor, it is important to listen to the doctors'[advice]. If they give you medicine, it is important to take it. Getting a second nanny was one of the things that really helped me. It just took so much pressure off of me and I was able to focus on myself and my children,” she explained.

“It’s not something that you can get rid of. It’s something that you have to always be aware of in your mental health. Healing has to be a continuous process and making sure that I’m not under too much pressure and being conscious about things that affect me and constant therapy for the rest of my life,” she added.
