Nollywood actress, Chacha Eke has said that she didn’t quit her marriage because of domestic violence

Chacha Eke revealed this in a video she posted on her Instagram page. She stated that contrary to some people’s insinuations, her husband has never laid his hands on her, nor raised his voice at her.

She said she is currently receiving treatment at First Delta American Hospital, Asaba, where she has been diagnosed of Bipolar disorder, after undergoing mental examinations.

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).

When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may feel euphoric, full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly.

Episodes of mood swings may occur rarely or multiple times a year. While most people will experience some emotional symptoms between episodes, some may not experience any.

Although bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, you can manage your mood swings and other symptoms by following a treatment plan. In most cases, bipolar disorder is treated with medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy).
