The weight of these tragedies took a toll on Kasuku’s mental well-being, leading him into dark thoughts. In light of his experience, Kasuku now urges everyone to regularly check on their friends, as depression is a real and prevalent issue in today’s society.
The sudden loss of Isma Olaxess and Kato Lubwama deeply affected Kasuku, pushing him into a state of sadness. Losing two dear friends within a short period was an overwhelming blow that left him buried in thoughts and struggling to cope with his emotions.
Depression is not just a passing sadness or a temporary low; it is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can manifest in various ways, and for me, it had affected my sleeping pattern until I was forced to go to the afternoon show since I would only find some sleep in the morning.
