Ryder battled depression after Depp split

Winona Ryder has opened up about the depression she suffered after splitting up with ex-fiance Johnny Depp.

The break-up was Ryder's first experience of heartbreak and she admits she took it badly, despite it coinciding with the peak of her acting career.

n a new interview with Elle UK, the star doesn't mention Depp by name, but admits her first romance ended shortly after she shot 1992 movie 'Dracula' - and her engagement to the actor ended less than a year later.

Ryder, 37, said: "I had just done 'Dracula' and 'Edward Scissorhands'. I had just had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak.

"And I think it was really ironic because, like, everybody else just thought I had everything in the world... (and) I had no reason to be depressed. Everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was completely lost.

"I remember feeling, 'I can't complain about anything, because I'm so lucky, I'm so lucky.'
