with you. channel 108. the world knows naomi judd as a grammy-winning country music star. but behind the scenes she faced a battle with depression. and naomi is detailing those struggles in her new book "river of time." naomi, good morning. it's good to see you. >> thank you for doing this. some mornings you wake up and there's a big, juicy pimple on your nose. i woke up this morning and i have no choice. ♪ take another little piece of my heart now baby ♪ >> naomi, you have found your voice in this book. and you are really talking about some difficult years when you fell into a depression. before we get into it what made you want to write? what made you want to be so public and spill it out? >> savannah i'm trying to start a national conversation about depression and anxiety because i

may be one little country singer right here. but there are 43 million of us out there. 43 million, who suffer from depression anxiety. and i want to let the world know that it's not a character flaw. it's a disease, just like you have a disease of the heart. heart disease. or you have cancer which is wherever cancer of the lungs. and the pancreas if the pancreas doesn't make enough insulin, you have to inject insulin into the body to get rid of sugar. they don't make enough of the good neurochemicals in the brain. we don't make enough of the good chemicals in the brain. it's a disease. it is not -- it has nothing to do with our character. >> and as you write in the book it kind of seemed to come out of nowhere, in 2011. as i understand you had finished up your tour with wynonna. and suddenly one day, you woke up and everything changed.

what happened? >> it happens with a lot of people. sometimes people don't realize, they have depression. if you go to my book, it's like a survivor's manual how to survive depression and anxiety. but i realized i wasn't just sadness, like if you have the loss of someone, the loss of a pet, the loss of a job, whatever. you can go into a temporary depression. but this lasted forever. i didn't get off my couch for two years. >> you were afraid? >> well, i was so depressed that i couldn't move. i wouldn't even brush my teeth. i couldn't get out of my pjs. my husband and my girlfriends, of course would come over. and i would just go upstairs and lock the door in my bedroom. or they would come to the driveway and i would lock the door and look at them. you become immobilized. and my psychiatrist i finally listened to ashley and wynonna and larry, my husband, and

realized i needed professional help. i was dangerously depressed. >> you talk in the book about thinking about, wanting, to commit suicide. >> yep. that's how bad it can get. you get down in this -- it's hard to describe because you get down in this deep dark hole of depression and you really don't think there's another minute. it's so horrific. you can't even think about another day. but i got so bad, that finally, larry actually called 911 in the middle of the night and they took me in. and that's when all of the therapy started. one of the things that happens with depression is throughout our life -- and i've had a lot of tragedies. and i talk about that in the book. but you just keep squelching it down. and if you don't deal with it it starts coming out sideways. >> and the book really chronicles the genesis of this

and what may have triggered it and your efforts to rise to hope which you do. naomi, i'm out of time. by i appreciate your candor and your honesty and your being here. >> the book is about hope. >> it is.
