I still get awful depression. It's who I am.

I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

Depression is a physical illness.

Depression is something that doesn't just go away. It's just... there and you deal with it. It's like... malaria or something. Maybe it won't be cured, but you've got to take the medication you're prescribed, and you stay out of situations that are going to trigger it.

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

Depression is close to me, but suicide hasn't been.

I fight manic-depression, and I have been able to live battling that sadness that I get sometimes.

In the Depression especially, I think you learn to face problems and not run away from them.

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

Depressives have led countries, won wars, flown rockets to the moon, made great music. Don't let depression stop you employing someone, and never let it cause you to judge them. Depression is not a person. Like any other illness, it is something that happens to a person. It shouldn't define them.
