This startup wants to catch your depression before your boss does
- Oluwabukunmi Victor Babatunde experienced a personal crisis after losing his savings in a failed investment.
- He co-founded Sane, a mental health startup focused on early detection rather than reactive therapy.
- Sane aims to normalize mental health checks in Nigeria, similar to blood pressure monitoring.
The approach taken by Sane is commendable as it addresses a critical gap in mental health care in Nigeria. By focusing on early detection and preventive measures, Sane has the potential to change societal perceptions of mental health and reduce the stigma associated with seeking help. However, the challenge remains in overcoming cultural barriers and ensuring accessibility for all demographics.
