Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone championed the cause of mental health and shared her journey of overcoming depression, publicly. She posted a message on her social media account recently. She had earlier set up her own foundation that helps create awareness about mental health and fights the stigma attached to it. In the wake of the unfortunate demise of legendary handbag designer Kate Spade and renowned TV host and presenter Anthony Bourdain, Deepika shared a strong message through her social media account. Deepika posted, “Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain were pioneers in their respective fields. They both carved a niche for themselves by doing the unexpected. They not only changed the world of fashion and food forever but were also loved by millions across the world. To the outside world, they seemed 'happy'. They seemingly "had it all". Then how did they 'fall' into depression? We don't ask why someone who "had it all" was detected with a fatal illness, why someone who "had it all' broke their foot or why someone who "had it all" met with an accident. Just like all other illnesses, depression does not discriminate.

The element of depression that is grossly misunderstood is the belief that you have control over your illness. In reality, you don't. The illness will creep into your life, and if left untreated, may completely engulf you. You are not in the driver's seat anymore, the illness is. It will tell you where to go, what to eat and when to sleep."
