Yes you do have every right. Even if you are privileged you still go through struggles and you still have emotions that you feel.

Off course. Depression often is not about our social status, sometimes is not about anything that's out of our own mind. Everyone has the right to feel depressed and to seek for help.

Of course yes. Depression affects anyone. You shouldn't feel like someone has more right to be depressed than others.

Depression does not care how privileged or not you are. Anyone can experience this debilitating illness and everyone is entitled to get help to address it.

Everybody has the right to feel depressed because everyone's lives are different and everyone feels and thinks different. You experienced other things then other people ao no one should judge you

You do not need a right to feel a certain way. Nobody can tell you how to feel; anyone can become depressed regardless of their circumstances.

Of course you do. Depression comes in two main forms. One is when you are simply sad because of a tragic event that has occurred in your life and the other form is a mental illness that can effect anyone, whether they be privileged or poor. Just because you are privileged does not mean that you can avoid depression because it is a negative chemical reaction that happens in your brain that makes you depressed, even if your life is great.

Depression it's a sickness that nobody chooses to have. It can happen to anybody. You are as human as well all are, so you have the right to recognize it and look for help.

Yes. Everyone has the right to feel how they feel. No title or lifestyle will change the right to feel how you feel.
