I dont think this is a publicity stunt..it doesnt help her cause and image if she keeps on going on and on about depression..only makes her look incapable of putting herself together

in all honesty..I think breakup with RK is the prime cause of her depression..she doesnt seem to be over him..its not like she is indifferent to RK..she mockingly dislikes him..which shows a lot of buried feelings..

hence she may not be doing this for publicity..she may have everything, and every man may desire having her..yet the one man who eluded her..and (RK just probably wasnt into her enough - which sort of affected her the most (remember her statement "at first when he cheated, I though there was SOMETHING wrong with me, but then when he did it again..etc etc etc") is responsible for these bouts of depression coming back..

First of all how are some people so SURE that Deepika is using this for publicity???????😕

And second, even if she's using this platform for her own benefit still no one can't deny that she's bringing awareness to a serious cause which has a lot of stigma attached to it.

Because of her many have found the courage and voice to seek help for depression or to find out if they are actually suffering from depression. So why are some people discouraging Deepika?

I personally don't believe Deepika is using this to victimize herself. How will she benefit from opening up about depression?

Many people in India don't even know what depression is or if they are depressed! Many people ridicule depressed people by calling them mentally ill without knowing that they are actually suffering from depression and they are not mentally ill.

Some even get a tag of possessed by ghost when they are actually depressed.

Because of Deepika a serious issue have come to light. Many are seeking help because of her. So why is she being discouraged or getting a tag of attention seeker??? When she's bringing attention to an actual serious issue and not on herself.

To be honest, you never really get over depression completely. It is always lurking like a dark cloud. That is why awareness and self-care is important. Even when back to a fully functional happy life, they have to care for themselves to avoid falling into the trap again.

Celebs are human. They have feelings, relationships, and faults, just like us. I'm personally thankful that Deepika, PC and Katrina lend their celebrity status to causes that matter to humanity. Continue to bash/judge all you want, but never forget that they do good for the world.

Nobody, I repeat NOBODY is belitting depression. Nobody is saying that it is not a serious thing, and that celebrities cannot have depression. NOBODY is saying that.

All the opposing side is saying is that WE DONT BELIEVE DEEPIKA. It is Deepika that we are doubting, not depression. Deepika is known to victimize herself constantly...Whether its her never ending obsession with Ranbir, the various "my world was over when Ranbir left me" interviews she gave, then she backlashed him on KWK (but Ranbir was on-set was so sweet to him after - Ranbir has confirmed this), then the whole cleavage thing (which was wrong but she turned into a whole other thing)...and now depression.

I am sure there are more examples. SHE WANTS ATTENTION and she wants people to feel sorry for her all the time. She always wants to be a victim... and that is MY OPINION. I am in no way trying to demean depression or imply that celebrities cant have them. They can. I just believe, according to MY observations that Deepika does not.

Thank you for saying this ...hope people read it and stop with those awful emotional lengthy lectures

Watched the entire 1 hour interview posted by the World Economic Forum and all I can say is that I'm really happy for her and proud that she has overcome the same and doing something about it too. It takes courage to accept it to yourself which is one thing, which in itself is so commendable but telling your story and reliving it to the public is a whole other thing.

And just like how Deepika described, a friend of mine went through similar situations and it took him a very long time for his parents to understand what he was going through and then subsequently for him to accept it himself. Deepika was lucky to have such a wonderful support system in the form of her parents especially her mom who understood what was happening and her family physician who spoke to her back then, but his parents did not know what was happening at that time. Fortunately, the talk around this started to happen and that is how it came to light and right now he's undergoing therapy.

The reason why this talk is happening right now in such an open manner, in India, is no doubt in some or the other way related to the time she came out talking about such a sensitive topic and kudos to her for that and moreover it is so heartening to see her do some good work with the Live, Laugh and Love foundation. Hope she continues with the same and hope more such people come to know of it as well.

Those who follow Deepika knows the work she is doing regarding this through TLL Foundation. Its not that she woke up after a year and started talking abt this.. and ya right WEF wanted to promote her movie and hence chose this time n got her talking abt this ...

Chalo even if its for promotion, is she harming anyone? She is just wanting ppl to realize the seriousness of this issue and even if one person is saved its success for her n her foundation... Sad that people who put keechar on others in interviews just before their movie releases are applauded and somebody who is bold enough to talk abt a serious problem is being ridiculed and mocked.. Wow 🤢

hope people read this and stop with the awful negative comments🤢

All who are criticising that Deepika is doing this for her film publicity, come out of the rut u r living in for godsake.

This is in OCTOBER 10th 2016 on World mental health day when she launched #DOBARA POOCHE program and last year she is not having any movie release at that time.

Now think hardly and shrewdly for making another excuse for this public stunt she is creating and how selfish she is

Thank you for posting this.👏👏

If it is a publicity stunt she could make it more interesting to gain the sympathy of the public by saying that she attempted suicide ,she felt like ending life cause all this can be a part of the illness but no she never exaggerated it in any of her interviews. I appreciate DP's interview on depression not because she disclosed her experience ,but she is a part of a foundation which is actively involved in awareness campaigning.It was not just preach but practice as well. I am just focussing on the positive side .😊
