Depression and anxiety can affect anyone. Even famous people suffer depression or anxiety. It’s important that you reach out for help. Talk to someone. Tell someone you trust how you’re feeling.

Don’t be ashamed, embarrassed or afraid. There are others out there suffering from depression. Maybe not the same way as you are, but that’s not the point. The point is everyone who is depressed shares some common feelings and thoughts. That familiarity is what unites us, what brings us together to heal ourselves.

Here are five famous depressed people.
