Abena Korkor, a popular Ghanaian TV Presenter and health activist has revealed how she was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder years after she had sex with a boy who was 13 while she was only 6-years-old.
The media personality who recounted her experience in an interview with Deloris Frimpong Manso on the Delay show while trying to figure out the genesis of her mental problem said that she can’t say for a fact that having sex at age the age of six brought about my mental illness.
Abena, who recently released a list of prominent Ghanaians male personalities she has slept with, said in the interview that she found out that none of her family members is suffering from the illness.
According to her, anytime she experiences any of her past psychotic episodes, she becomes sexually hyperactive and as a result she tends to either talk alot about sex or engage in it.
She said thus during the interview; “I can’t say for a fact that having sex at age 6 brought about my mental illness. What I know is, I’ve never seen myself as one who fits in and when I was in Tertiary, I felt within my system that all wasn’t well.
“So I immediately went to the hospital and when they couldn’t treat me, I was sent to the Accra Psychiatric hospital where I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder,” the TV gal added.
