“The Boss” had bouts of depression in his 60s that “lasted for a long time,” he told CBS Sunday Morning. “It’s like this thing that engulfs you. I got to where I didn’t want to get out of bed.” He said it didn’t affect his work, and wife Patti Scialfa’s “strength and love” were key. “She’d say, ‘You’re going to be OK. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but it’s going to be all right.’ ” He also got help for the condition from therapy and medication.

This Academy Award-winning actress shined a light on postpartum depression when she opened up about her 5-month battle after the birth of her second child, Moses. “I felt like a zombie,” she told Good Housekeeping in 2011. “I couldn’t access my heart. I couldn’t access my emotions. I couldn’t connect.” She dealt with clinical depression, too, after her father died in 2002.
