SAN FRANCISCO, October 07, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress Chacha Eke Faani revealed on Thursday that she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
She debunked speculations that her marriage crashed over domestic abuse from her husband.
The actress, who took to her social media page to address the issue, said that her outburst was not an issue of domestic violence contrary to what people think.
According to Chacha, doctors have diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that causes mood swings which include emotional highs and lows.
She wrote: “Five days ago, I made a video saying that my marriage to Austin Faani is over and that video came with a lot of backlash from people with many insinuating that it’s a clear case of domestic violence. It’s not. Austin has never laid his hands on me. Austin has never even raised his voice at me and God in heaven knows that’s the truth.”

“I’m here at First Delta American hospital, Asaba, receiving treatment. Several psychiatrists have come to assess me mentally and I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Bipolar is real. Here in Africa, we tend not to know about it due to ignorance or overlook it. I cannot tell you all how I’ve been feeling in these tiny videos that I’ve been making but I will, however, show you motion pictures soon”, she added.
