Jada Pinkett Smith’s life has been difficult from the beginning due to her extensive pain and early responsibility for her family. Jaden and Willow Smith are her two children, and she wed Will Smith in 1997.

Jada has revealed that despite her success, she has battled with severe depression and has even considered suicide.

Following Will Smith’s 2022 Oscars slap of Chris Rock, the well-known Smith couple became the talk of the town. But prior to that, Jada Smith dealt with her own issues, disclosing her deep depression and even suicidal thoughts.

The 52-year-old actress opened up about her battle with depression in a People interview.

After witnessing the beneficial effects it had on their father at a ceremony, Jada became intrigued and made the decision to give it a shot.
