About Depression

It’s no secret that Hugh Laurie has had his battles with depression at times in his life. Many of us have. House fan Grace sent me these quotes about depression fro Hugh and two of his closest friends. I agree that you will probably find them interesting.
“It doesn’t make you want to kill yourself – you just don’t want to be.” ~~ Emma Thompson
“There’s no doubt that I have extremes of mood.” ~~ Stephen Fry
“It was certainly more than feeling a bit sad.” ~~ Hugh Laurie

Hugh’s depression is because he lives very far away from his family. and he needs to be with them from time to time. and he’s tired of not having privacy. damn the paparazzi should give him a break, he’s a human being too
Hugh could have done us all a bigger favor by speaking of his depression and then continuing to advocate for the mentally ill instead of “taking it back” by saying “oh, I’m sorry I said that cause I hate when rich people whine!” – please. Nobody is on the track or has balance down 100% – especially those that the public put up on a pedestal. If you have a flaw or struggle, there’s nothing wrong with learning to use it to help others. I hope he continues to extend compassion and advocacy to this cause and many others. He’s a generous and genuine man. He needs to keep it real in his own life and not worry so much about what Mommy thought when she was alive.
