Comments on: Hugh Laurie regrets talking about his depression http://www.celebitchy.com/44491/hugh_laurie_regrets_talking_about_his_depression/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:03:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: jana http://www.celebitchy.com/44491/hugh_laurie_regrets_talking_about_his_depression/#comment-422756 jana Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:38:08 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=44491#comment-422756 I think it took guts to talk about and it was the right thing to do. People need to be more aware of depression and stop the critisizm. Depression is a real illness. You can't 'just lighten up' or think possitive thought and make it go away. And I think Hugh didn't need to apoligize or regret what he said. If it helped someone who was feeling alone then it was worth it. I think it took guts to talk about and it was the right thing to do.

As somebody else with clinical depression, I know it's hard to explain to people how it feels to be depressed and later when you look back on the conversation and (as most people with depression have poor self-esteems) feel like an idiot or think that the person wasn't interested or didn't care about what you had to say. See, even that sounds whiny. I personally will always applaud Hugh Laurie not only for good looks and incredible talent but for his lack of commercialization that you see in celebrities today. Look no further than people like Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers for examples. I read a biography of Hugh Laurie and he’s been having problems with depression for years.

I wish more people in the spotlight would. I think a lot of celebs have depression but cover it up with drug and alcohol abuse. It's probably more prevalent than we know.

What he is trying to say is, with all the deprivation in MOST of the world, it's a pretty pathetic thing when someone who is not in need is whining about their MOOD problems. It's like complaining that the bus commuters crossing the street are in the way of your limousine and why is your life so miserable??? I think it was great he managed to divulge his depression problems but still has the brains to keep it in perspective. Duh, of course Hugh recognizes that money doesn’t buy happiness.

It shows that depression can affect anyone, that people who are suffering through it are not alone, and that it can improve. I find it uplifting,he has come far.
