Dolly Parton has revealed that depression runs in her family on both sides and she has to be wary.
The 'Last Thing on my Mind' singer said that it was usually brought on by something that was going on in the family and if there were problems sometimes it was a lot for one little person to carry, the Mirror reported.
The American country singer said that people always said to her that she was happy all the time, but she said that nobody can be happy always.
She said that she was a tender-hearted person and every once in a while she just feels sad-hearted and melancholy.
Speaking on her overweight issues, the 68-year-old singer asserted that it was a really bad time and it took two years just to try to get her physical weight and hormones in order and that was the first moment in her life that she slowed down.
