Well I have to give it to her after watching her show I felt empathy for her and also checked my symptoms with my GP. It turned out that I was suffering from Depression at that time and after taking proper medication I am fine now. So yeah it is a good cause to spread awareness!

Break down being still depressed? If you are quite an emotional person and since this topic is close to her heart its normal to have that kind of reaction while talking. According to her she was out of it before she launched the foundation. She was lucky enough that she or her mother noticed it in the early stage of depression.

Whatever people might call her its an important issue all over the world people have less knowledge about this and its good if known faces are talking about this issue. There are so many different reasons why people are getting depressed and somethimes there is no reason for it.

A friend who has an amazing job which she loves an amazing husband shes in love with and has also a child. And suddenly she felt different she didnt enjoy anything. everything was too much for her and the worst part she didnt know why. She even left her own family and went back to her parents. Only with her inner strenght to change this and medication she got back to her normal self.

Deepika has certainly brought an awareness about depression in at least a few more people... and that in itself is a great thing. If Deepu has encouraged even one person to introspect, check for symptoms and seek professional help or medication to cure depression, then she has played her part well and should be applauded for the same, without being overly judgmental.

Thanks DP for doing this. It is so "unfashionable" to talk about mental illness. Thanks for starting this.

I always say that we all are very harsh and unkind to others on this forum. Remember one thing, the person who is acting immature and stupid may have some serious issues and just to score a point in our debate, we may tip off their balance. So if you see any sign of ugliness, PM and find out if your words aren't hurting beyond the person's tolerance. Joke and laugh at people who you know can take the joke.

what ever the intentions be..at least it is creating awareness and breaking the stigma

i am proud of her for that alone

as for whether she really was depressed or it was a nautanki..only she knows and i don't even care..i respect her for standing up and speaking on it

her first interview on depression came at a time when i myself was going through a lot and seeing her talk so bravely about it and overcoming it..gave me strength to fight it and get out of it..so yeah what ever the intentions may be..it for sure gave me a new hope and i am sure many others too..so hats off to her on this

my 2 cents..i feel she is genuine..she does not need it at this point when directors across the globe want her to star in their movies..she does not need this for publicity..she is already at the top of her game..but that is just my observation..others can disagree fully!
