Nigerian actor Ray Emodi has announced that he will be taking a break from Nollywood work in order to prioritize his mental health.

Emodi revealed on Instagram that he has been receiving treatment for anxiety since 2015, and that he has decided to put his health first by reducing stress and taking a break from film work.

He thanked his fans for their understanding and support during this time.

Ray Emodi is grateful for the support and understanding of his fans during this challenging time. He is currently receiving treatment at Synapse, a medical center in Abuja.

Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can cause excessive worry, nervousness, and physical symptoms such as headaches and muscle tension.

Emodi emphasized the importance of taking care of one's mental health and encouraged others to do the same.

He wrote,

“I am suffering from anxiety. I’ve been receiving treatment for this since 2015 and one of the requirements is not to overwork. I have been having serious symptoms of late and for that reason, I will not be able to continue with film work the foreseeable future.

“Please allow me some time to refund your money. I apologize for any inconvenience. The medical establishment that has been handling my case is called Synapes, based in Abuja.”
