Media entrepreneur and storyteller, Chude Jideonwo, has revealed deeply personal battles with depression and Tourette’s syndrome in his new memoir, How Depression Saved My Life. The book details a decade-long journey from political campaign success to a near-suicidal moment on Lagos’ Eko Bridge—an experience he says became the turning point of his life.
Jideonwo recounts years of misdiagnosis, severe mental health struggles, and the moment overwhelming sorrow nearly pushed him to drive off the bridge. The memoir explores his path to healing, the birth of WithChude, Joy Inc., and his renewed purpose in transforming pain into empowerment.
The author describes the work as a guide for anyone facing emotional darkness, offering lessons on resilience, faith, therapy, and rebuilding a meaningful life. How Depression Saved My Life is now available nationwide and online.
