Elon Musk admitted that he suffers from depression.

American entrepreneur Elon Musk admitted that he sometimes suffers from depression and takes medication.
⠀

“Sometimes I get a kind of … negative chemical state in my brain, like depression, I guess. Or depression that is not associated with any negative news,” Musk said during an interview with the former CNN anchor and blogger Don Lemon.

⠀

According to the entrepreneur, taking the medicine helps him, because he “usually works 16 hours a day.”

⠀
Musk added that he could not afford to remain in a state where he could not think clearly for a long time.

⠀
The entrepreneur considers his depression to be congenital and does not think that his medication will somehow affect his companies and their government contracts.
