Rosie O'Donnell admits in the September issue of her magazine that she has been on anti-depressants for two years after long having been in denial about her condition. "I think I have been depressed for years," she says in the self-revealing article. As for her denial, O'Donnell, 39, says that she shunned the very word depressed. "I wasn't depressed. I was sad, yes, and moody, but not 'depressed.' I had reasons for my pain, and that kept me from getting treatment." She has been going for therapy on-and-off since she was 16, going "over and over the disturbing things that happened to me (but) I never felt much better." As for a breakthrough, "The dark cloud that arrived in my childhood did not leave until I was 37 and started taking medication." Without naming the medication, Rosie writes that "my depression slowly faded away. I have been on medication for two years now. I may be on it forever . . . What the pills did was to allow me to deal with all of those issues when and where I wish." She says, "My life is once again manageable."
