JUDD: 'DEPRESSION WAS INEVITABLE'
Actress ASHLEY JUDD was primed for depression as a child - because she was left on her own while her mother, singer NAOMI, toured the world.
ASHLEY JUDD
The Double Jeopardy star went public with her battle against depression after she entered a program at Shades of Hope Treatment Center in Buffalo Gap, Texas in February, 2006, and now she admits she has always battled the blues.
The actress says, "I had a very unsafe and unstable childhood about 10 months out of the year. I didn't have my normal, natural little-girl needs met. I was left on my own a great deal.
"There was a time when I skipped a whole week of school because my mum was on the road, I didn't have a ride and I'd gotten ashamed of calling friends.
"I had my first childhood depression at eight - severe, intense, hole-in-the-soul loneliness. No one noticed."
