Depressed Fifi Geldof speaks out

Having recently lost her sister Peaches to a drug overdose, Fifi Geldof, the eldest daughter of Bob Geldof, has revealed she is still battling with clinical depression, from which she has been silently suffering for the past two decades.

The UK's Daily Mail reported that the 31-year-old, who also lost her mother, Paula Yates, to a heroin overdose, gave a rare interview in which she said she had never talked to her father about her illness, which started during her parents' much-publicised divorce.

She is quoted as saying: "It's confusing and it makes you feel quite lost within yourself. It wasn't a slow and gentle descent into depression. Something just switches in your mind. I'm still trying to work out what's wrong with me."

Following actor Robin Williams' suicide, Fifi posted a picture tribute to the actor, according to The Independent. She reportedly wrote in her caption: "Makes me so sad that he had the world crying with laughter whilst drowning in his own tears."

"I think this has prompted me to want to speak out publicly about my own depression which I've suffered from for years. [This is] just in a feeble attempt to bring more awareness and understanding to something that ought not be subjected to such stigma."
