Get Rich or Get Sectioned: My Mental Health Journey
What happens when the drive to succeed collides with unhealed wounds, buried trauma, and the weight of expectations? For Okiemute Akpogheneta, the answer was a devastating descent into a mental health crisis that would change his life forever. But Get Rich or Get Sectioned is not a story of defeat. It's a story of redemption, reconnection, and restoration.
Told with raw honesty, insight, and a voice that refuses to hide, this fearless, unfiltered memoir blends the rhythm of hip hop and the soul of R&B with the quiet power of faith. Okiemute pulls back the curtain on the moments that shaped him - from a childhood split between continents, to the haunting aftermath of violence, and the emotional storm that led to being sectioned under the Mental Health Act - and takes readers on a journey through identity, pain, family, and the long road back to sanity, guided every step of the way by the God who refused to let him go.
A testimony of grace, not perfection.Okiemute writes with a rare blend of vulnerability and strength, inviting readers into the most fragile corners of his life, not for sympathy, but for connection. His story though heart-breaking and deeply human, shows that healing is not instant. It is a process of surrender, gratitude, and choosing life one day at a time.
"I'm of a sane and sober mind today because God met me in the place I thought I'd never return from."
This memoir is more than a recounting of events, it is a witness. A witness to survival. A witness to mercy. A witness to the God who restores.
A must-read for anyone who loves faith-anchored memoirs, stories of resilience, mental health battles that end in hope, or needs proof that brokenness can still lead to breakthrough.
