Though unconfirmed, Kehlani's suicide attempt made many wonder whether she was suffering from depression. In 2010, another R&B star, Fantasia, also attempted suicide and admitted to battling depression, joining a long list of celebrities—including Black-ish star Jenifer Lewis and actress Lisa Nicole Carson—who have spoken out, or been affected, by depression and mental illness. advertisement :: top five articles 1 Chilli Talks about Kissing Michael Jackson » 2 President Obama's Approval Ratings Up » 3 Jill Scott: Things Fall Apart » 4 Richard Roundtree on Surviving Breast Cancer » 5 Marlon Wayans May Star in Richard Pryor Biopic » Advertisement Hello Beautiful #DoTheRightThing: Bernie Sanders Tells Spike Lee Why Black Lives Matter #BlackGirlMagic: FLOTUS On Her Post-White House Dreams Watch Madea Get Into ?Formation?
