Depression is a psychological problem that affects the mental health. And suffering from mental breakdowns is not about the so called privileged or not, since we all suffer from our own life tensions in a way or another. So to sum it up you have the right to be depressed but what's important is for you to seek help.

Of course you do! Being depressed isn't something that only effects poor/underprivileged people. Depression effects people in all walks of life.

I do have the right to feel depressed, even if I do have more things than others - emotions and situations are completely different compared to someone else. I shouldn't feel guilty about having emotions.

Yes, everyone can feel depressed at some point in their lives. No one is perfect and therefore there doesn't have to be a particular stereotype of people who are allowed to be depressed - there is always a point in our lives where we will feel depressed. You are not alone!

Yes. Being depressed does not come from your economic state in life. All of us have mental health to take care of, meaning we may all experience depression.

Privilege =/= the right to be depressed. Anybody can be depressed, it isn't something that occurs despite having privilege or not. It's a mental illness, something you can't control if it happens or not. Try and find help if you can :)
