A lot of celebrities suffer from depression - and with money, and connections, its easy to get any drugs you want to try and make the pain go away. Here is a list of celebrities who have suffered from depression, and used drugs, prescription or otherwise, to self-medicate.

1. Britney Spears: Spears is a well-known example of a bi-polar or depressive personality who self-medicates with anything from alcohol, prescription drugs, to marijuana.

Several friends of Spears have been told that the singer has taken anti-anxiety medication, “and who knows what she’s on now. This is really a matter of her being unstable, not suicidal … she’s not balanced.”

PEOPLE has learned from multiple sources that the singer also suffered from depression after both her pregnancies. “She had postpartum depression after Preston was born,” says a source who was close to the family during her marriage to Kevin Federline. “

2. Heather Locklear: Recently in the news for a much-publicized DUI, Heather Locklear has apparently been struggling with depression for years.

In June 2008, Locklear entered an Arizona facility for the evaluation and treatment of anxiety and depression. She began taking antidepressants in 2006, following her divorce from Richie Sambora.

3. Owen Wilson: Funnyman Owen Wilson hides a not-so-sunny side of himself, which almost got the better of him during dark days in 2007.

National Enquirer jointly reported Aug. 24 that Wilson, the star of popular comedies including “Wedding Crashers” and “You, Me and Dupree,” had slit his left wrist and taken unidentified pills in an attempt to kill himself.

4. Jim Carrey: Jim Carrey, star of The Ace Ventura movies, has a long history of depression and Prozac.

Carrey says: “I was on Prozac for a long time. It may have helped me out of a jam for a little bit, but people stay on it forever. I had to get off at a certain point because I realized that, you know, everything’s just ok,”
