She recently spoke out about suffering from depression to the Mail On Sunday. 

She said: 'Depression is nothing to be ashamed of, it affects an awful amount of people and yet there is still this ugly, shaming, misunderstood stigma around it. 

'With depression you can have everything in the world and nothing. It affects people of all walks of life.

‘When it takes hold for a couple of days it wipes you out. There have been occasions where I have been unable to get out of bed, unable to shower and to eat. 

'You exist in this gloomy shell of a person. But you learn how to deal with it.’ 

MailOnline has contacted Fifi Geldof for more information.
