I think if there's a great depression there might be some hope.

There is something uniquely depressing about the fact that the National Portrait Gallery's version of the Barack Obama 'Hope' poster previously belonged to a pair of lobbyists. Depressing because Mr. Obama's Washington was not supposed to be the lobbyists' Washington the place we learned to despise during the last administration.

I'm actually not a big fan of the word hope. I think it's a depressing word. I don't want to hope - I want to know. Like I don't hope there's a God I know there's a God.

Depression can seem worse than terminal cancer because most cancer patients feel loved and they have hope and self-esteem.

My father was always depressed. When he was home and sober he was mostly in his room.

World War II ended the Great Depression with one of the great public-private industrial collaborations in the history of man.

In the history of the treatment of depression there was the dunking stool purging of the bowels of black bile hoses attempts to shock the patient. All of these represent hatred or aggression towards what depression represents in the patient.

I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.

I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.

I can understand why some people might look at me and say 'What's she got to be depressed about?' I get that a lot in Britain where mental health issues seem to be a big taboo.
