After so many examples and incidents it is clear that depression isn’t that simple and can happen to anybody irrespective of their wealth or success in life. There are many instances where hugely successful people suffer from depression.
Money, power or position nothing matters in depression, if there is something that matters it is one’s will to fight and the support, love, and care he gets from the people around him.
