Retired President Mwai Kibaki's grandson, Sean Andrews, disclosed a time he suffered from mental health issues and depression.
Speaking to The Standard during a past interview, Sean noted that he had lost people close to him, and was being bullied a lot.
"When I lost my maternal grandfather when I was 13 years old, I went through depression and it got so bad that I wanted to take my life at some point.
"My grandfather was my rock. He was my everything and my best friend. He was the only person I felt safe with. After his death, so many people started taking advantage of me and I became so paranoid over a lot of things," he recounted.
Sean noted that he had bottled up a lot of things that sent him to a dark place. he added that it took many years for him to get help.
"Every time I tried to take my life, I’d think about the people I had come to love and what I’d leave behind and at what cost. I am a selfless person and even when it came to suicide, the people I love came first," he stated.
The former president's grandson noted that to date, he still struggles with some issues but tries to forge on.
"I quit toxic behaviour, like drinking alcohol, after I got to the point where I almost became an alcoholic. I am happier now and in a much better place," he revealed.
