Kevinho talks about mental health after his mother’s cancer diagnosis: ‘I sank into depression’

Singer Kevinho, 26, shared an account on social media this Thursday (26) about his mental health after his mother’s cancer diagnosis. He said he has sunk into a “giant depression” over the past two years.

The artist reported having put his career aside to take care of his mother. Because of his depression, Kevinho stated that he had gained weight. He shared a photo from a year ago and said he has lost 14 pounds since then.

“Right after the news of my mother’s diagnosis, I sank into a huge depression, fear and uncertainty made me discount everything on food. Apart from the weight gain, I was ruining my health”, he wrote in the caption of the published photo in Instagram stories.

The singer began the story by explaining his decision to pause his musical career to be with his mother. “Anyone who follows me knows how difficult these last two years of my life were. Receiving the news that my mother was sick was a blow for everyone in my family. Giving up my career to take care of the most important person to me was the most important choice I could have done it, and I would do it all over again,” he said.

“Today, thank God, my mother is cured. And, to celebrate, Kevinho is back, doing what he has done most of his life, which is music for you”, he added. His return comes with the release of the song “IA” this Friday (27).

“Soon, I’ll make a video talking about everything I’ve been through in recent years, after my mother’s diagnosis. It really shook me and there were many battles that only those who have been through it know. Depression hit me in a way I never imagined, but God He knows everything and doesn’t give us a burden that we can’t carry!” he also said.

Kevinho claims to be “healed and constantly evolving”.
