Grammy Award-winning pop singer Janet Jackson has opened up about her “intense” battle with depression. The 52-year-old, who has featured on Essence magazine’s Happiness edition, in a letter, discussed about her journey and evolution as a singer, the pain she has suffered and the lessons she has learned over the course of her life.
“I struggled with depression. The struggle was intense,” Jackson wrote about her thirties, as reported by E! Online.
“The height of happiness is holding my baby son in my arms and hearing him coo, or when I look into his smiling eyes and watch him respond to my tenderness,” she said. “When I kiss him. When I sing him softly to sleep. During those sacred times, happiness is everywhere. Happiness is in gratitude to God. Happiness is saying, ‘Thank you, God, for my life, my energy and my capacity to grow in love.'”
Janet had also previously talked about depression in her 2011 self-help book, True You. In the book, she shared her feelings about how having low self-esteem in the childhood lead to a difficulty in her handling body weight and mental issues later in her life.
