Jambi Koikai is a heroine for many women, especially those that have struggled with endometriosis. The former ‘The Trend’ presenter has posted a message on her Instagram page that concerns her illness and how she has suffered from depression.
She wrote:
I’ve been depressed since 2016. Suffered anxiety and crazy panic attacks. I’ve been seeing a great therapist for this and I’m forever grateful. Kindly see a therapist and know there’s a community of endo-warriors who are willing to offer support. Also, know that it is normal because of what we are going through. You will be ok.
I appreciate Wendy Bingham who’s been a great support system. She suffered from this disease for 30 years and was treated at the Center for Endometriosis Care. She’s now a great endo activist raising awareness on endo and thoracic endo. I also appreciate my girl @lifeabove_endo I blew up her DMs in 2016 waiting and hoping for a response. God used this lady to save my life. She told me about the @centerforendocare and that’s how I got here.

Apart from endometriosis awareness going up in the country, many female celebrities have also come out to say they have suffered from depression.
Some like Grace Ekirapa, Anita Nderu, and Ruth Matete have already given out their deeply personal stories about the disease. Let us hope that more can come out show that it can be overcome.
