I think because I did a lot of modelling and appeared in lads mags a lot of women didn't necessarily warm to me. But now I have been through childbirth, post-natal depression and struggled with my weight, women seem to relate to me a lot more. - Jennifer Ellison I want to tell people that I had post-natal depression because there is so much stigma around the subject and there shouldn't be. - Jennifer Ellison

Bipolar disorder, manic depression, depression, black dog, whatever you want to call it, is inherent in our society. It's a product of stress and in my case over-work. - Adam Ant I've had this problem since I was in my 20s. They don't call it manic depression anymore. They call it a bipolar disorder, and I'm a Type 2. - Ned Beatty My recovery from manic depression has been an evolution, not a sudden miracle. - Patty Duke The point about manic depression or bipolar disorder, as it's now more commonly called, is that it's about mood swings. So, you have an elevated mood. When people think of manic depression, they only hear the word depression. They think one's a depressive. The point is, one's a manic-depressive. - Stephen Fry

The years of the economic depression have been years of political reaction, and that is why the economic crisis has generated a world peace crisis. - Arthur Henderson Economic depression can not be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement - Herbert Hoover Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves. - Herbert Hoover A brick could be used for job security, like an employment paperweight. Hey, in this economic depression, I'll take anything I can get to help me hold down a job. - Jarod Kintz With the economic depression and unemployment at record levels, at least I have an excuse to be a bum. I can blame Washington DC, rather than my lazy sense of entitlement. - Jarod Kintz Those responsible for our economic depression have been found irresponsible. The irresponsible are responsible! - Jarod Kintz Like e...

Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his. - Ronald Reagan Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. - Ronald Reagan Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don't even need a specific trauma, just 'general depression' is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold. - Mitch Albom 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. - Adam Ant Depression is boring, I think and I would do better to make some soup and light up the cave. - Anne Sexton Fella says today, 'Depressio...

Perspective is the cure for depression. - Bono 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. - Elizabeth Wurtzel

I speak of a clinical depression that is the background of your entire life, a background of anguish and anxiety, a sense that nothing goes well, that pleasure is unavailable and all your strategies collapse. - Leonard Cohen The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape. - Leonard Cohen Hang me upside-down and fuck me in both ears. You pulled yourself out of a clinical depression by being a freaking hero. - David Foster Wallace

Republicans don't like people to talk about depressions. You can hardly blame them for that. You remember the old saying: Don't talk about rope in the house where somebody has been hanged. - Harry S Truman That was when Leonard realized something crucial about depression. The smarter you were, the worse it was. The sharper your brain, the more it cut you up. - Jeffrey Eugenides I didn't know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don't know their mothers had it; that's the sad thing about depression. You know, you don't function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void. - Marie Osmond The thing about depression is that, if you're not the one who's actually suffering from it, there's very little you can do to be proactive. If someone in your family is depressed, all you can really do is send them to the shrink, get them their meds, be gentle, and wait. - Sarah Silverman The most important thing to remember about depression is thi...
