Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams has spoken out for the first time about suffering from depression. The 32-year-old has revealed she first experienced it when she was a teenager. Speaking to the Associated Press, Williams said: "I had to choose to get out of bed and do whatever I needed to do to be happy."
"I've had to deal with depression," she said, although she hadn't needed to take medication for it. Her experience of the mental illness has been described as moderate but she has encouraged others to seek help. "Go see a professional so that they can assess you. It's OK if you're going through something," she said. "Depression is not OK, but it is OK to go get help."
