There are happy privileged people and happy unprivileged people. There can also be depressed people from every side. Being privileged (whatever that might mean to you) does not mean you are immune from every bad thing in the world, just like if you are unprivileged does not mean you cannot feel happy.

You have the right to feel depressed even if you're privileged. It's a matter of our mind-set. Maybe you've gone to a stressful matter even though you're privileged.

We all have the right to feel any feeling, and we don't have to apologize to anyone for it. However, depression is a clinical diagnosis, not a sign of weakness; it is a disorder of the neurotransmitters in our brain and should be managed by a doctor. If you think you are depressed, seek help from a professional. It will improve your life a lot!

Every feeling is allowed to be felt, no matter who you are and where you are from. Money and social class can't buy happiness. Don't feel bad about feeling depressed whoever you are and whatever your position is, the only thing that matters is to take care of yourself

Of course you do. Having depression isn't a way of life that anyone chooses to have, and just because you are entitled doesn't mean you have to suffer.

Yes, you have the right. Just because others are suffering in different situations, your feelings are still valid. It does not matter where you come from or how much money you make, there is no right that says that you can not be ill. End of the story.

Depression can "target" anyone no matter how great life is going or not going for us. Since it's not always situational, it can be chemical imbalances that cause depression. Sometimes it can be situational and not realize it at first. It all depends really.

No human in this world is immune to mental illness. Depression doesn't discriminate. If you feel depressed, perhaps you should speak with a professional about signs and symptoms in order to find solutions.

You absolutely have the right to feel depressed if you are privileged. Depression does not pick and choose it's victims. Just because your situation is better, does not mean that you do not have the right to feel depressed.
