British popstar and ex-member of famed boy band - 'Take That', Robbie Williams has battled depression for several years and now copes with the help of medication.

Commenting about his illness Williams, said 'people think that if you're depressed, you're depressed about something. But I'm not. I just feel terrible. It's not about record sales or media or family. The real root of it all is, actually, I suffer with an illness that's called depression'.

In an interview in the 'Telegraph' magazine, Williams has also commented that medication has helped him appreciate his old music, something he was unable to do previously.
