Connie Ferguson is one of the most iconic actresses in South Africa, but the star’s life is not as perfect as some of her fans might think.
The Queen actress recently opened up about her battle with chronic depression. Healthline.com describes chronic depression as depression that lasts longer than two years.
People who suffer with persistent depression often have symptoms such as hopelessness, low self-esteem, lack of productivity and a gloomy personality.
Connie’s depression was so bad at one point that she had to take antidepressants. “I usually get depressed during winter, but this is the first time in two years that I haven’t been on antidepressants and it’s mainly due to exercise,” she told Glamour magazine.
