Actor Chuckwuka Jude Opens Up About Eight-Year Battle With Depression

Nollywood actor Chuckwuka Jude has opened up about his long struggle with depression, revealing that he battled the condition for eight years before finding stability.

In an interview on Ayo Adesanya TV’s official YouTube channel on October 9, 2025, the actor shared that during that period, he lost passion for nearly everything in his life.

“There are some things that still hurt me, but I’m a man, so I have to move on with my life,” Jude said. He explained that he once believed being in a relationship or engaging in sexual activity could help him overcome his struggles. “I felt having sex was the way out. I began having a serious appetite for sex, but I didn’t know that it was my state of mind that attracted it,” he admitted.

Jude noted that before meeting his current wife, he was in a dark place, but rediscovering his purpose helped him recover and regain emotional balance.

His remarks shed light on the challenges of mental health among entertainers and the importance of personal awareness and support systems in the recovery process.
