Depression runs in my family: Dolly Parton

Singer-songwriter Dolly Parton has opened up about her two year battle with depression saying it runs in her family.
Parton, 68, is currently preparing to tour the UK this summer, including her first appearance at Glastonbury, reported Daily Express.
"Depression runs in my family on both sides and I have to be wary. It is usually brought on by something that is going on in the family and if there are problems sometimes it is a lot for one little person to carry," Parton said.
The singer also said that she has a lot of insecurities despite being a larger-than-life country singer with huge hits such as 'Jolene' and '9 To 5'.

"People are always saying to me I am happy all the time. But nobody is happy all the time. I am a tender-hearted person and I feel everything to the ninth degree. Every once in a while I just feel you know... Sad-hearted and melancholy.
"There are times when you just don't want to get up," Parton said.
