Whindersson’s boxing defeat doesn’t weaken his case against depression

The influencer provides relevant social services by speaking up about the disease and encouraging the search for treatment

Severe depression led Whindersson Nunes to a psychologist, a psychiatrist, and also to boxing. He found in combat sports a stimulus to react against the emotional disorder that affects about 20 million other Brazilians.

On Saturday night (15), the 28-year-old influencer stepped into a ring in Dublin, Ireland to face Britain’s king Kenny, 26, in the ‘High Stakes’ celebrity tournament.

Lost, but with honor. The defeat was by points. Piauí’s man fought until the end. His face was swollen with cuts and bloodstains. As soon as the announcer announced his opponent’s victory, Whindersson smiled and waved the glove goodbye. Afterwards, he danced funk with his rival. He showed the nobility of sportsmanship.

Let’s hope he doesn’t stop racing. Boxing has a therapeutic effect on his life. In 2019, to ‘Fantástico’, the influencer said that he feels guilty about having depression for being a privileged man.

“I’ve become a guy who has my little things and everything. But you come to that moment and you’re like, ‘What’s going on? Money, money, money…how’s it going?’ he asked.

Happy times can be bought, but they don’t guarantee sanity. Like the comedian, countless other celebrities need professional support to deal with deep sadness, existential emptiness, and other essential issues.

Experts recommend the practice of sport to those who are depressed. “Boxing saved my life,” Whindersson said on TV Cultura’s “Provoke.” “Depression is something that comes and goes, and boxing is mind controlling me.”

The courage to speak up about the problem and encourage those who are going through the same emotional pain to seek treatment – ​​especially men, who are more reluctant to ask for help – makes the influencer a good example. Defeat in the ring does not delegitimize your victories in favor of your own well-being.
