Depression is a silent battle that many people face, but few are able to overcome. One such person is Ghanaian musician, Okyeame Kwame, also known as the ‘Rap Doctor.’

Okyeame Kwame found himself struggling with depression as he approached the age of forty. The pressure to produce hit songs and keep up with the competition in the music industry took a toll on his mental health. However, instead of succumbing to the darkness, Okyeame Kwame turned to nature for solace.

His love for nature led him to focus on climate change issues, which became a source of inspiration and motivation for him. Taking a break from social media and other distractions, Okyeame spent a year meditating and reflecting on his life.

During this period of self-discovery, Okyeame Kwame found the strength to bounce back and released his album, ‘Made In Ghana,’ in 2019. In an interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning, he shared his journey to recovery and how meditation played a crucial role in his healing process.

Speaking on the use of drugs in the entertainment industry, Okyeame Kwame emphasized the importance of self-reflection and learning from one’s mistakes. He highlighted the tendency for creative individuals to turn to substances to numb their pain instead of facing their challenges head-on.

For Okyeame Kwame, being a musician is a gift that requires a keen sense of creativity and introspection. He encourages others in the industry to embrace their talents and learn from their experiences rather than seeking temporary fixes for their problems.
