Streamer and former CS2 professional player Denis ‘deko’ Zhukov informed his fans about his mental health issues. Due to depression, he will not be able to stream for a few days.
He shared:
There won’t be streams for the next 2-3 days. Depression has overwhelmed me.
This is not because of losses. I was diagnosed with depression (mild or moderate) a couple of years ago. I’ve been taking antidepressants for the last six months, but it’s gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. I’ve become so indifferent to everything that I don’t feel like a living person. Now I will go to the doctor again to find out what to do next.
In November 2024, Deko ended his career and became a streamer because he was tired of bootcamps and training that did not bring results. You can read more about this in the material at cybersport.ru/tags/cs2/deko-rasskazal-pochemu-zavershil-kareru-v-cs2.
