Depression, anxiety and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for far too long. – Robin Williams

Quote from a 2006 interview with Robin Williams.

If you suffer from depression and anxiety, talk to someone. Reach out to a friend, family member or even a stranger. Depression and anxiety can be overcome, that is fact. Don’t bottle up emotions. Don’t be afraid alone. A simple conversation can turn everything around, for every minute is another chance to turn it all around.
