When I graduated from high school it was during the Depression and we had no money.

Last time I spoke to my mom she called me from a pay phone and we didn't have the best talk. Ever since my stepdad passed away three years ago she has been very depressed and hasn't been herself at all.

Of course I would be depressed sometimes and my Mom would be worried about me because I would just sleep to escape. Cause I was so scared of being a musician or artist or whatever you want to call it.

I like my name. My mom named me after a song by the 1970s group Bread. So it's meaningful and I like the song. It's a love song - kind of - but it's kind of depressing and dark.

Postpartum depression is a very real and very serious problem for many mothers. It can happen to a first time mom or a veteran mother. It can occur a few days... or a few months after childbirth.

When women are depressed they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.

I suffered from a mild case of postpartum depression after my second child and the physical challenge of maintaining an overnight shift at CBS a marriage and two in diapers made the symptoms worse and everyone in the house paid the price.

Depression is when you have lots of love but no one's taking.

There's some movies I watch they're kind of like my anti-anxiety pill my anti-depressant pill. I watch them at least once or twice a month probably. And I never stop learning from them as a filmmaker.

No power in society no hardship in your condition can depress you keep you down in knowledge power virtue influence but by your own consent.

If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk I would just be depressed all the time.

I think if there's a great depression there might be some hope.

There is something uniquely depressing about the fact that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster previously belonged to a pair of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington the place we learned to despise during the last administration.

I'm actually not a big fan of the word hope. I think it's a depressing word. I don't want to hope - I want to know. Like I don't hope there's a God I know there's a God.

Depression can seem worse than terminal cancer because most cancer patients feel loved and they have hope and self-esteem.

My father was always depressed. When he was home and sober he was mostly in his room.

I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.

I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.

I can understand why some people might look at me and say 'What's she got to be depressed about?' I get that a lot in Britain where mental health issues seem to be a big taboo.

The World Health Organization has recognized acupuncture as effective in treating mild to moderate depression.

My biography of Frank Sinatra is not paean to his music but rather an illumination of the man behind the music who once described himself as 'an 18-karat manic-depressive who lived a life of violent emotional contradictions with an over-acute capacity for sadness as well as happiness.'

Friends have suggested that I am the least qualified person to talk about happiness because I am often down and sometimes profoundly depressed. But I think that's where my qualification comes from. Because to know happiness it helps to know unhappiness.

The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression.

I start to think there really is no cure for depression that happiness is an ongoing battle and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.
