Here's part of my list of famous people who are dealing with mental illness.

Ted Turner, the founder of TBS and Cnn, has severe bipolar depression and receives shock treatments.
Mike Wallace, from the show 60 Minutes, has battled depression for most of his life.
Kathy Chronkite, author and daughter of TV news anchor Walter Chronkite, has depression as well.
Patty Duke has bipolar depression and wrote a book about it called A Brilliant Madness. I think I got that title right.
Marie Osmond has dealt with a bout of major depression and still receives treatment for it.
Charley Pride, award-winning country music star, also grapples with depression.
