Tragic Details About Brandy

As a superstar, Brandy experienced the highest peaks in the entertainment industry. But few things last forever, which made the fall from the top even more devastating. After multiple incidents, tragedies, and heartbreaks, the singer-actress admittedly fell into a depression. Suddenly, "Brandy found herself deeply despondent," according to a 2020 People interview. The internal turmoil grew even worse and Brandy recalled "feeling like her pain was insurmountable" at one point. At this lowest moment, the outlet noted, "she contemplated suicide." 

Looking back at her struggle, Brandy said, "I remember laying in bed super depressed." Then, she recalled thinking about herself, "So, you're just going to go out like this? That's wack. You have a daughter. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for her because this is not the way to leave a mark in her life.'" Thanks to Brandy's bond with her daughter, the star was able to cope with her pain and carry onward. She "credits" her child, Sy'rai, for "pulling her out of the darkness she felt," People reports.

In her music, Brandy has addressed mental health, releasing a song called "Bye BiPolar." Despite the title, however, she was never diagnosed with this mental disorder, but explained to the New York Post, "I've had moments where trauma has caused me to not be myself, and I felt at a point that I could've experienced moments of that."
