New Delhi: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty's sister Shamita Shetty had opened up on facing depression a year ago. After the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput, she had taken to Instagram to share a long note she wrote about the mental illness.  She expressed that anybody can get depressed and one must reach out for help when we're in such a state. She describes it as a dark place where hope and happiness don't exist.  She wrote, "Depression..anyone of us can go through it...recognise it..accept it..n reach out for help in whichever way you can!! It can pull you into a very dark place, where hope n happiness don’t exist.. it tries to break u.. it feeds on every part of ur soul.. everything hurts, you become your own worst enemy in this dark terrible world..it becomes ur reality!! The world we live in doesn’t know ur journey.. yet it’s so prompt to judge! To hate! Waiting to pull u down!!
