Hugh Laurie talks about his lengthy battle with depression

'I was a pain to have around, I was miserable and self-absorbed,' he admits. ‘It is selfish to be depressed and not try to do anything about it.’

Hugh, 49, has been haunted by feelings of despair since his teens and finally sought therapy in 1997 after an extra-marital affair.

The pain the relationship caused wife Jo - mum to his children Charlie, 19, Bill, 17, and Rebecca, 14 - spurred him on to examine the origin of his feelings.
