Your post only serves to exemplify the ignorance surrounding depression and associated mood disorders, such as anxiety. Material wealth and physical attractiveness are no guarantees that one is not at risk. Depression can be of many types. For some there seems identifiable cause, and it is thought that these people may have biological reasons for their low mood. These people often respond to antidepressant treatment more readily. For others, specific events and happenings in the person's life can be identified as the cause, and this is often called reactive depression. For these people, medication is less effective. Having suffered from Major Depressive Disorder and severe anxiety for the past 3 years due to a number of incidents which occurred in my life over which I had no control, I can only feel for Ms Locklear. The roller-coaster ride of trying various medications which mostly don't work while putting up with their side effects, the feelings of hopelessness while wanting desperately to return to the person you used to be, and the pain of being in such a dark place is not something I would wish on anyone. Only someone who has been there can really understand. No-one would choose to feel this way, believe me.
