Janet Mbugua talks to her brother about his struggles with mental health || Here and Now

[@lordcamau]

For those having issues about the lighting, please calm down... This just a cinematic feel that has more to do with camera settings... Everything is superb.💯

[@pa798]

No camera setting. That place is really dark.

[@kakamasai001]

💯

[@missw.4882]

Kindly do watch the one uploaded in the 'here and now' channel, it's clear....the visual on this has nothing to do with cinematography

[@rosemaryngugi6328]

It's high time people learned that privilege and depression are not mutually exclusive. Gratitude too. You'll be shocked that the ones shining the brightest are in the most pain. Money, success, social standing et al is irrelevant in the face of mental illness.

[@ladysafari01]

Why do you think a ton of world celebrities and Hollywood elite end up committing suicide? Most of these folks are very lonely inside and put up a facade. Nobody really takes the time to ask them if they are o.k because sadly to society; having money= no problems...it's actually opposite.

[@nancyalexia1]

Even if it was a podcast, I'd still listen. Light is a minor thing if you can actually see Janet and Kevin. The life in the words are the light one only need to see. Welcome back and thank you for this Janet.

[@WandiaNjama]

With or without proper lighting I heard and understood, the message was delivered eloquently and with power. May God soothe you all ❤️

[@osvunguznyamongo4387]

This is phenomenal! The certitude of the matter is that despite the fact that Neurosis, a functional mental disorder, has sunk into our system and invalidated our cumulative civilization; mental illness is curable by Psychoanalysis - a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between the patient and a psychoanalyst. If truth be told; this program represents free association which is a form of psychoanalysis, whereby Janet Mbugua (the interviewer) is a psychoanalyst and the patient is the interviewee. Kudos!

[@mwariworld6547]

Great

[@Kadzowe]

This is very true! I work as a YouTUbe Life Coach in the USA and many of my Kenyan clients do have a stigma bout mental health. Kenyans leave their beloved country to come to a foreign land and start from scratch. Being away from home in a new culture with new experiences with children who are Americanized can be very difficult. I try to coach my clients in how they can cope.

[@mweusimrembo890]

Nice, which state are you located

[@AggiesVine]

Welcome back Janet. Just a thought!! Better lighting will be great but nonetheless great show.

[@rhodakelsey6559]

I think the lighting is thematically related to the topic of discussion, depression and mental illness take a person to really dark places, hence the lighting

[@hg_dynasty254]

maybe it has to do with what they are talking about

[@AggiesVine]

That too.

[@elizabethwambui9901]

So glad you're part of the mental health awareness train Janet. You and your bro will touch so many lives hitherto ignored especially among the youth. We need to get through this stigma and stop wondering what the Joneses will say. Kudos Janet, Kevin!

[@Utadowot]

Depression/ bipolar is more common than reported

[@joycewairimu6208]

Depression is real and everyone should know its ok not to be ok and seek help. I respect Kevin for sharing his story. It's going to help so many people I believe.

[@ireenmutai]

Hi Janet this took alot of courage from you and your bro I really admire you Janet ❤️💗 you are very strong and I really appreciate your brother for coming out and sharing his experience, my ex husband had the same problem and it was not easy by the time he came out and asked for help we had already parted ways since I was raising a toddler I couldn't handle it any more but I know how serious it can get I respect your bro for doing this big up lots n lots of love 😍😍

[@annkamau7400]

Love and light to both of you. This was such a deep session. The darkness is real Janet

[@wamaitharewild]

When he talked about mirroring who he was talking to because he felt that's how they would understand him, when they talked about multiple masks... that touched me in a very real place, I completely relate to that. Thank you for sharing your story, it will inspire others.

[@fitlife1]

i feel you

[@lucyngigi309]

Depression is real,soo help us God.janet it's good u care coz you know what it means thru your big bro.

[@SWW-te2oq]

I can identify with everything Kevin says. Unfortunately, not everyone has the suport from family or even friends. Or even access rehab. And so you have to maneuver your way out of all the emotional confusion. Depression and loneliness is a lethal dose by itself. It’s by God’s grace that you can ‘evolve’

[@CK-ps7sm]

So true,going through the same

[@joylaoshe2481]

WOW! Just wow! I love everything about 'here and now". Great job and thank you.

[@pragz100]

I do relate with you Kevin . People don’t know the struggles that some of us go through cause we hide it so well. Be strong and keep talking about it

[@AyleensFoodVlogs]

Welcome back Janet. These are the conversations we should be having now. Mental health depression is something we shan away from .

[@rebeccamwose]

This was such a moving talk, thanks for sharing. Family members make such valuable support systems that they are crucial in recovery of people with mental illness. As families let's always be there for people affected with mental illness and never give up on their recovery despite the duration, relapses and challenges we face on the journey.

[@tranquilityhaven4929]

Wow, this is huge, huge. i didnt know Kevin was Janet's brother. Most importantly they are touching on the issues even family always dont see or notice about a relative going through depression. This is so educative.

[@wanyagahostrich2443]

Your English is quite well eloquent I love it . thanks for sharing this

[@Rachel-ij2pz]

Mental health health needs to be spoken about.. many are suffering in silence.

[@susanmengo2074]

Very sober ,eloquent guy but Janet wasnt fully prepared for this ...Kevin was going to pour out his heart had it been for a different interviewer. Well done j and k 👍🏿

[@johnodande6295]

It's never easy interviewing a member of your family, especially in public.

[@r.h.6403]

She knows him and you can tell she's always been careful with words when she talks to him

[@lindawangui7886]

I think, given the love she has for him as her elder brother, and being how ladies nurture their brothers, she wanted to protect him.

[@estherkibui2371]

I never think your brother n sister hope you get well soon😁👍welcome back miss you people🤩

[@evewairimu7379]

Great show !!! Having people who genuinely care and show love is a step to recovery.

[@milkamaina7628]

Omg! This is such a deep conversation. I love what he says, about the evolution into another phase. It's so true. Been feeling this way esp because of work. And it does make sense. Thank you for sharing.

[@nyinyibito1757]

Be kind to what? Do you know the people around them suffer alot with them? This people are not human beings, they can kill you in a blick of an eye ,coz there souls are dead. They dont have emotions, they lack empath. I dont like them coz this werewolf spirit can turn your life in a minute a nightmere. All cases of serial killers are from childhood trauma bond children.. the moment i know someone has childhood trauma brain, id rather take on my heels!

[@btsfangirl3087]

I truly truly appreciate this conversation.

[@curraffafriq1863]

Janet videos like these, just mute people's comments. When you open yourself up to people (putting your family front and center) you become vulnerable to their insults and harm. Sending all my love and support to you and your family. Welcome back.

Choreographed nonsense!!

[@elleno4119]

Rich people problems.. us poor folk battle depression from real things.. like homelessness

[@rosemaryngugi6328]

Stop invalidating other people's struggles just because you think you've had it worse! It's not the Struggle Olympics. Mental illness, just like Cancer, Diabetes and other diseases affects people from all walks of life whether poor, rich, illiterate, educated or whatever! It's not just homelessness, unemployment or such that causes depression. Sometimes it can be inherited(family history). People who live in difficult social and economic circumstances feel like they are the only ones who have the right to suffer from depression or any other mental disorder more than those that never lacked anything when growing up/those that are “doing well” in life. Depression doesn't care about level of education, wealth etc, it has everything to do with the chemical imbalance in the brain (neurotransmitters).

[@wanjah.374]

Hi Jeina O. Mental illness is not a competition on who has it worse. Just because your issues are different from his, doesn’t mean that they are not real or important. Empathy goes a long way and allows you to rise above self pity and victim hood.
