" Milicent found an objective happiness in her new life, but she still battled with depression. Remember, depression is a mental health issue. When you have depression, you don’t need a specific trigger or thing to get depressed about. Depression takes care of that for you, finding worries in your life or inventing reasons to be depressed. You can be depressed during the times in your life when you should be happiest, whether because of work success or finding a great romantic partner or going on a wonderful trip. Milicent was also struggling with the migraines that had tormented her since Disney. These two malefactors would sometimes keep her laid up in bed for days at a time. "
