247 A statement by singer Regis Danese at the meeting this Wednesday (21) caused an uproar among Internet users. The gospel singer expressed what he deemed “absurd” about depression, attributing it to the absence of Jesus (i.e., lack of Christian faith) in a person’s life. On social media, netizens stressed that the statement was harmful to mental health.
Danese was the show’s musical guest and at one point Patrícia Poeta addressed personal issues such as family and health. The moderator mentioned that people often think that artists have a perfect life without any problems, but in fact that is not the case. Then Danese began his speech.
“Depression affects everyone, especially those who engage in art. Many comedians, for example, suffer from depression. They laugh and tell jokes, but inside they suffer. Do you know what that is? When you have an encounter with Jesus, He is righteous.” “The right space to fill that void,” he said, without providing any evidence or official data to support his claim.
