Ashley Ogle has depression and anxiety.

According to her interview with the Engineering Your Life podcast, she shared that she suffered depression and anxiety at a young age. At the age of 5, she was diagnosed with anxiety. This affected her so much, especially at school, because she was not attending school very often.

She lost interest in going to school, which made her stay at home for about 6 months without attending school. Ashley stated that her anxiety wasn’t because of anything because she was herself while at home rather than when she was at school.

So right now Ashley Ogle is okay; she is no longer suffering from depression. She even managed to be in Big Brother Mzansi, which was a very hard thing to do as young Ashley.
