What Happened To Tasha Cobbs Leonard? Singer's Fight With Depression

Toby Cobbs Leonard has been outspoken about her struggle with anxiety, and she experienced depression at one point. She announced in 2016 that she had received a depressive diagnosis in 2007.

When asked about her battle with depression, Tasha remarked, "Growing up, I had always felt these depressing feelings. I assumed I was the only one experiencing this and that I had a problem.

In 2007, while I was my church's worship pastor, I first understood there was a more significant issue at hand. I would go home and stay under the covers with the curtains drawn, go days without eating, and never leave my room even though I could get up and sing and see people delivered, set free, and experience liberation in their lives.

My therapist gave me a depression diagnosis. You're probably wondering: Tasha Cobbs, a Grammy-winning gospel singer, is depressed. Yes, depression.

I firmly believe that therapy helped me identify the areas of my life that required mending and that God and my faith completed my recovery."

The singer also revealed that she has struggled with her weight and understood that she needed to move on to discover who she truly is. She made the decided action in 2010 and underwent a surgical operation.
