Mental health battles are pretty common these days, affecting people from disparate backgrounds and countries. It is also said that it takes one who has suffered from something to understand those who are currently suffering from the same.
Well, this much was obvious recently with the shock announcement by Miss USA Noelia Voigt that she was resigning, citing her mental health battles.
To give an idea about her resignation and why she took the path she did, she released an official statement on her Instagram page, part of which reads: “I strongly value the importance of making decisions that feel best for you and your mental health.”
Well, in this move she has got the support of many people, including Miss SA Natasha Joubert, who publicly supported Voigt.
Natasha should know. After all, she herself had had her own mental battles in the past and was open about the same back then.
That was just months into her reign. it’s been a while since then, but she’s learned and appears in a better position to not only understand others in a similar position but advise them as well.
By the way, not everyone is open about their mental health issues. Some have committed suicide as a result of mental health issues.
