Between the intense anxiety of our recent elections and the collective stress of daily life, I’ve been finding solace in both rescuing stray animals and binge-watching classic Nollywood dramas. It got me thinking: could our film industry play a bigger role in addressing Nigeria's mental health crisis by moving beyond stereotypes to tell more vulnerable, honest stories? I’d love to hear your confessions on whether you think our media shapes our emotional well-being or if we're just using it as a temporary escape from reality.
