Sharon Osbourne Opens Up About 16-Year Battle With Depression
"Some days are better than others," she said.
— -- Sharon Osbourne has revealed she's battled depression for the past 16 years.
"The Talk" co-host, 62, made the disclosure on the talk show Monday as she discussed comedian Wayne Brady, who also recently admitted to struggles with depression.
"Some days are better than others," Osbourne said. "And some days you feel like you just want to pull the sheets over your head and just stay in that bed and not do a damn thing -- except rot."

In a clip posted on the show's site, co-host Aisha Tyler said she is proud of Brady and others for coming out and revealing their depression, saying she believed it would start a conversation and to get rid of the stigma that the disorder brings with it.
"If you have the bravery, if you can do it, it's important to speak up," she said. "So many people suffer in silence and they feel alone."
When Tyler asked Osbourne why she has never talked about her depression, she responded, "Nobody's ever asked!"
Tyler was happy to hear Osbourne got help, to which the wife of Ozzy Osbourne said, "I did! And I still do."
