I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.

I think people who suffer from depression, unless it's post-traumatic, are probably going to struggle with it for their whole life.

I believe that everyone experiences depression to some degree at some time in their lives. And there are probably millions of people who live with a low level of sadness and heaviness day in and day out.

I think every human being has a level of melancholy in life and in general.

But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc.

Well of course I get depressed sometimes, yes I do.

A lot of people don't realize that depression is an illness. I don't wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.

Certainly, I think being depressed is absolutely part of the human condition, it has to be, if there's joy there's its opposite, and it's something you ride if you possibly can.

Depression is a horrible, potentially life-threatening illness - but the lives it threatens are almost always those of the people who suffer from it.

I can certainly see how people are overcome by depression.
