MUMBAI: Singer Mel C has revealed that she suffered from depression in the 1990s.

She said that she struggled with her mental health when she was part of The Spice Girls as she found it difficult to get a "sense of normality and reality", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I think what happened to us was so unique and it was so amazing, but there's loads of repercussions that come with it," Mel C told Paper magazine.

"Getting some sense of normality and reality, I found that hard and I did suffer from some depression for some time. It's something that I'm aware of and learning more about mental health. And I think people are talking about it more.

"It's incredible to hear the statistics. Lots of people aren't seeking help and they're suffering in silence. I think it's really important to talk about it. I can't blame my time with the Spice Girls. I think it was just my life experience being a bizarre one," she added.
