JK Rowling Reveals Suicidal Past

The Harry Potter author urges others to get help for depression. Speaking to an Edinburgh University student magazine, author JK ROWLING said she had thoughts of suicide after separating from her first husband in her 20s, the BBC reports. "We're talking suicidal thoughts here, we're not talking 'I'm a little bit miserable'," she said in an interview with ADEEL AMINI for the magazine. "I definitely had leanings towards depression from quite an early age," she added. "Then, mid-20s, life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted." (link)
