I really don’t blame them because when it was not happened, there was probably something else that could go wrong. For me it started with a small incident, what happens a lot in puberty. But the depressions were already in the family, so for me it was partly genetic. Sanne: It started when I was about 13 years old.

Reyers: Yes Sanne, when did it go wrong with you? Why are you here?ĭe Wachter: 1 million people in Belgium are taking antidepressants and they are not all ‘sick’. But first we gonna listen to Mister De Wachter. Reyers: You gonna explain ‘your case’ later. I’m not saying medication is everything, but for people who are really sick, I think it’s so wonderful that we live in this society now. Without antidepressants, it had never succeeded. In my case, I am 100% of who I am, by medication. Then I have to say, the people who get better with a placebo, wouldn’t have been really sick. Sanne: Yeah then I thought that’s ridiculous. I wanted to do this a long time ago but it did not happen because my music was more important. Sanne: Yeah, questions is a big word, but I wanted to highlight a part of the reportage because I felt that It was not clear enough. Reyers: It’s about a reportage from a few weeks ago on Panorama with the subject ‘Taking pills for depression’. Hello Sanne, I’m gonna call you Sanne because you’re not here as Selah Sue but as Sanne Putseys.

Reyers: So, welcome both of you, we brought you here on request of Sanne. Selah Sue at Reyers Laat – A conversation about her depression. 9 / 5 / 2014 Belgian singer/songwriter & musician, Selah Sue
