In a video shared on her social media, the former Nairobi Woman Representative shared how the bipolar disorder has controlled her life leading her to fall into depression. “I suffer from Bipolar but bipolar has been there for a long-time running my life without me having any control over it and in that process, I became very depressed and almost suicidal. The CAS said before she realised she was suffering from bipolar disorder and depression, she took her family down and also lost her clout at the grassroots as a politician in the city. Shebesh further noted that bipolar disorder and depression are treatable and revealed that she still takes her medication to help her manage the condition and be able to function normally. The day I took control of my mental health, bipolar doesn’t control me, it’s just a part of who I am,” she narrated.
