Le Bon fights depression
Veteran supermodel Yasmin Le Bon is battling depression.
The former catwalk superstar, 50, who is married to Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon has been grappling with mental illness for many years and faces a daily struggle to keep it in check.
“I have had real depression. It’s a running battle every day and I’ve worked very hard at it,” she revealed to Britain’s Red magazine.
“I’m in control of it but it’s there all the time ... I haven’t (taken medication) but I would if I felt myself really on the edge and needed extra help.
“(I am a) melancholy person. But melancholy’s beautiful; it’s not something to be frightened of. It’s a very relevant emotion to have. You can’t deny all the different emotions — you can spend your whole life denying anger, which I have done, but you can’t get rid of it. It’s there for a reason, you’ve just got to learn how to use it.”
