I would belive it. Many talented, intellegent, beautiful people feel very depressed. Plus with all the pressure from his job and lifestyle....I can only imagine...we love you Prince.

what's all this about metal health?

beret1022 said:

basically, just pick your drug of choice...

Prince has spoken with Ophrah about multiple personalities inside himselve, and different Prince-colloborators has pointed at his extreme mood swings....so, i dont see anything strange thing in the thought that Prince did use antidepressive medication (which helps borderliners, manic-depressive and psychotic people also).

I am quite honest about this, Prince can be a musical genious, but judging on his musical and lyrical output (often being contradictive in his lyrics, going into extremes when it comes to expressing his sexual / religious / spiritual views, the lack of quality control) i dont see him as a very stable kind of guy when it comes to his mental health...

To use a cliche: the line between being genious and being mad is very thin...

Man you are reight about that but you also forgot... Some people abuse this too.

doctamario said:

I dunno. I've totally felt the same ways as he expressed in that song.

doctamario said:

Of course, there are a list of other twisted cuts we could get into but why go there. But, what's so sad is that when he was in this fragile, horny, mental state this was when he wrote some of his best music.

Yes, you have to cover all bases.

DEPRESSION? A very common illness these days... In fact it is very stylish & its even "in" with the IN CROWD. Anywaz, we ALL get it in some form at one time or another in our lifespan. Its common 2 treat it with medication 2. GEEEEEZ. Big Deal.

Fox... I thought u love Prince? U mean u think 20 bucks is 2 much 2 support HIM & the MOTHER CLUB? Also, he's got lots more members at npg than here AND they post intelligently in the forums 4 the MOST part. TRY IT. I'm surprised at u. The orgers got 2 U 2 huh? TOO BAD. ROCK ON NPGMC. I doubt Prince is at all depressed THESE dayz. Hes wayyyyy up there again! Of course he always with me...plus he always KNOWS what hes doing!

u are very right.

fact is, Prince has been crazy for many years. Sometimes he even looks crazy in his eyes.

Prince has demons who doesn't
lets not forget that he lost a child which im sure is something that ache's everyday of his life
which probably damnwell sparked him to jump into the JW faith , because he blames his lifestyle im sure
...

if i where to lose a child
i know i would have some serious problems...
probably damn near suicide...

As proven by wacko "kiddy toucher" jacko

I won't be surprised if he has ADD or OCD.

All people problems are relative.

If your only problem is that you have a spot on the end of your nose it's still a problem to you. Just because it's not as bad as other peoples, it doesn't mean it's not important to you.

Prince has a faboulos life to some, but to him he still has bad days like the rest of us.

Success, fame and wealth does not equate to happiness.

Digressing slightly, i always wonder why some people believe Prince to be 'crazy'. I just find him to be highly liberated. i don't find a guy wearing high heels and make-up , dancing around with ass-less pants and recording 50 songs a day 'crazy'. Prince is an artist, in tune with himself and his creativity. he speaks of loving oneanother, and opposes war. Is he crazy? I find poloticians to be far more disturbed than prince. Who's insane? the funny looking guy who plays a squiggly guitar or the president who bombs a nation for oil?

we all have our quirks and not one of us is perfect. We each have our faults. If any of us are placed under a microscope like those in the public eye then i am pretty sure many of us would be portrayed as 'crazy', too.

If, i turn around 360 degrees, i have to repeat the process the opposite way! i have always done this and i don't know why! i must be crazy!

Also, many disorders are culturally defined. An individual diagnosed with Schizphrenia in the US would likely to be regarded as spiritually gifted in some tribes.

Society sets the parameters, anything that challenges or over-steps these safety zones is frowned upon and restricted.

Considering the positive influence and large contribution Prince has made to popular culture, his free-thinking and not giving a fuck about societal boundaries, being 'himself', maybe one could say prince is sane and we are all mad.

I have often thought the same thing. Plus there have been so many genuises of arts throughtout history, who also have had mental health problems. Van Gogh, Picasso, Mozart, to name a few.

good one!
With working non stop and partying non stop, Mr. Partyman then his periods of being reclusive and staying at home "to watch videos" etc, maybe those are his manic periods, (very productive and highly creative times) then when he is in his depressive times, he is reclusive and very withdrawn.
