💯💯A response I made to a post somewhere on meta… I just feel that we need to know this…

📌 A note on psychiatrist services, particularly on getting assessed and starting treatment. I hope this will be educational and hopefully give someone hope.
Psychiatrists are specialists in mental health, however they are not the only medical doctors who can prescribe medications for mental health disorders.
General practitioners and family physicians are also qualified to assess and treat.
Any ‘complicated’ cases will definitely be referred to a psychiatrist, but majority of depression or anxiety disorders can be managed at primary care level. That is in clinics and ‘smaller’ hospitals.

If you are in need of services and you are thinking you might need treatment, definitely do check those professionals I have highlighted.
💚
This is not to discourage those looking to specifically be seen by psychiatrists, but to highlight what other options for help are.

I also address this concern in my book Your Mental Health Matters

The book was written precisely to fill a knowledge gap among non medical doctors.
Health education saves lives… 💚💚🫡

Ah ah
Baa re bua bua. 🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️

Apparently, second‑born sons are statistically more likely to stir up chaos at home. Yep, that “Why is everything broken?” kid? There’s a study for that. 😅

Turns out it’s partly because firstborns hog the spotlight, so the second kid is like: “Fine, if you won’t notice me, I’ll notice myself… loudly.” 🥳

Parents, brace yourselves. Second-borns aren’t evil, just… creatively disruptive. And siblings, don’t worry - being the middle/youngest means your messiness is basically research-backed entertainment.

We can learn a lot from Vee Mampeezy
From music, water, to bread, to this…

Diversification 👏 👏
Ke gore don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
From lethale lea tsamaya to business mogul.
This is massive growth.
I think this can even be used as a case study in our local business text books…
Maybe nna o ke ratang go kwala ke mo thula ka di rights, ke dissect the business of this.
Anyway I digress… this is impressive. 💯💯

For more than 20 years I have lived my dream on stage sometimes celebrated as Botswana’s number one artist, and many other times wrestling with the struggles that come before success. I started from nothing, fought through doubt and hardship, and learned that every step forward isn’t just about me — it’s about the people who believed, supported, and grew with me. This is my zero-to-hero story.

Today I am humbled and proud to announce the next chapter: on the 11th I will open my very first franchise restaurant, VEETROS, at Game City. VEETRO’s is more than a business it is a promise. A promise to create jobs, to give opportunities, and to lift up our community the way music has always tried to lift our spirits. I have always believed that success is meant to be shared, and now every sale will directly help others: 1 p**a from every single sale will go back to charity.

Please join me on the 11th at Game City to celebrate this dream made real. Come enjoy good food, bring your family and friends, and help us turn every meal into a chance to change a life. From the stage to the kitchen, from zero to hero let’s build this future together.
GOD is real 😭🙏🏾🤞🏼

I have quit a job, started a new job and left that job too…

Some friends call me fear fokol 😂😂😂🤐

Over time ignoring small stresses, worries, and fears can be like leaving a car light on overnight—a slow drain on our emotional resources. 💡

If you are going through a difficult situation, at work or in your personal life right now ask yourself, “What can I do to make it better?” 💛

Go inward and search for meaningful solutions or ways to give yourself a positive boost. ⚡️

This may also mean researching ways to exit the situation.🚪

Just like it’s great to be mindful of what your limits are, it’s also great to be ready when the timing is right to make that change. ✌️

An answer to a question about my book.
The book is an all rounder, my intention was to give you all the information minus the fluff.
For professionals I added some evidence for some of the claims in the book so you can read for yourself.

My book Your Mental Health Matters is available on Amazon, through me and other book stores in Botswana for you to purchase.

It makes a great Christmas gift.

I have to admit, between school and being a parent and the demands of my job I haven’t even done half of what I intend to do with this book.
People need this book, whether o tshela le mental health or not.

Ke gore what I have realised is that, if not now later… unless you are intentional about protecting yourself.

The response in green is me, ke bua ke le lebile ntse le nwa di energy drink tse sebene ka letsatsi 🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️
