Yes, you do. Of course, you can still say that your depression might have other reasons than depressions of people who are less privileged.

You definitely do. Depression is not limited to a certain class of individuals. If that were the case, would it ever end? Would people not continue to compare themselves to others until it was wrongly determined that only the most wretched person in the world could be 'allowed' to feel depressed? Ridiculous. No human being in existence has ever needed permission to feel. You are no different.

Everyone has the right to feel depressed regardless of their socio-economic background or priveleges that they have access to.

Can you feel depression even though you're privileged? Of course. But depression is not something we are entitled to by being alive; its a state of mind that happens. The real question is this: Since I'm privileged why do I feel unhappy? Remember that being considered financially well off is not everything.

You are the only one who is living your life. Other people are living theirs. It doesn't matter how much a person has or doesn't have, depression can hit anyone. Depending on your amount of privilege, use what you have to find a way through. And if you don't have the resources, keep looking anyways. You're worth it.

Yes, of course you do. Everyone from all walks of life can and have the right to feel depressed. The rich the poor, the privileged and the not. Everyone can feel depressed; and everyone has the right to reach out for help. =)
