'Fire Under My Feet' songstress Leona Lewis recently penned an open letter about struggling with low mood and anxiety over her future, but revealed that she didn't have clinical depression because she has witnessed someone battling with that first hand. 

Lewis wrote: "At some points I felt extremely depressed and other times experienced amazing highs, but it got to the point where the downs were outweighing the ups... At times it seems absolutely overwhelming and I spiral to a dark place."

Speaking to Britain's Stella magazine, the beauty has now confessed that while she was definitely in a dark place, she wouldn't feel comfortable saying that she suffered from depression:

"I did not suffer from depression. I wouldn't dream of belittling those who suffer from what is a terrible condition. I have a best friend who has severe depression, who takes medication and still struggles, so I know how bad it can be. I find it so hard to remember how it was, how I was. I am all about living in the present moment."

The star, meanwhile, is set to release her highly anticipated new studio album, ‘I Am’, in September. She shared a handwritten tracklisting with her followers at the end of June and confirmed that the record will include 15 songs.
