You would never know when you saw cute, perky Kellie Pickler perform that she was fighting a battle with depression.  Kellie tells People that last year, while her professional life was going great, she felt her personal life was crumbling.  Kellie says she spent last year struggling with depression and having reactions to anti-depressants she was taking for her depression.

Pickler said she was depressed due to family issues and the end of her relationship to boyfriend, Jordin Tootoo.  Pickler reported that the anti-depressants weren’t a help because they made her feel crazy. 

Kellie is strong and she had her friends Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and her new boyfriend to help lift her spirits and break her free from depression.
