Do I have the right to feel depressed even if I'm privileged?

Of course! Your emotions do not care about your status or your wealth, and in 2017 at least, rich people do not have any difference in their brains than people who aren't privileged. It's important to be aware of your privilege, but it's equally as important to take care of yourself.

Yes, a lot of people know they have a 'good life' but are depressed, then they feel guilty about it, and suddely they feel even worse. What people should distinguish is the environment and the emotional well-being, those are seperate things.

Everyone gets down from time to time. You shouldn't feel guilty because you have a good life, depression is a mental disorder, privileges have nothing to do with it, don't worry.

Of course you do. Depression doesn't care if you're cis, white, male, or privileged in any other way. You have the right to feel any way you do. Being privileged can buy many things but happiness is not one of them. You shouldn't feel guilty or ashamed for this, you're a human being with feelings just like everyone else.

Yes, depression does not belong to one person, or group. In fact depression may affect as many as 1 in 3 people. Each person is valid in their feelings and should not be ashamed of them or ignore them. You should not feel like you aren't allowed to be depressed, or allowed to talk to people and reach out to them regarding it, you have a right to be depressed but more importantly you have a right to be heard, and a right to feel better again in the future.

Yesyesyes! I've struggled with thoughts like this myself, and it's not fun, but you have to remind yourself that depression doesn't pick and choose who it affects. Your status in no way discredits your emotions, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

You always have the right to feel depressed no matter what the situation is and the day it is and even if your privileged because sometimes you just need to let it out because of the tensions that's held against you at times.

Of course! Your feelings are valid. Brain chemistry does not care about your social status. You can be affected by depression no matter where you come from.

Anyone can feel depressed despite their personal aspects. There are no rules that say depression cannot affect people with certain things.

Well there are a number or reasons that can make one reach depression, and if you observe at any celebrity example, material things or status aren't a guaranty of anything, because depression comes from the inside, not the outside. Sounds kind of obvious, but maybe it isn't, of course the outside can affect the inside, but to solve things from the inside you the only ones that can help you are people, not money, not fame, etc. Hope it helps.
