Depression is not only for the poor. The rich, the wealthy also suffer depression due to one reason or the other best known to them. They may decide never to talk to anyone else, as they keep pondering over it from time to time, it can turn to depression.
It could be difficult to achieve all these at the instance but keep doing it gradually you will see that you are free from the shackles of the monster, depression.
