9. Fantasia Barrino

The 2004 American Idol winner faced a number of obstacles in 2010 that lead to severe depression and ultimately a failed suicide attempt. Barrino admits that the combination of a throat tumor, home foreclosure, poor music-business ventures and a tough break-up caused her to try to take her own life. Fantasia nearly overdosed on aspirin and sleeping pills in August 2010. The young singer said, “I didn’t care about anything. I just wanted out. At that moment I wanted out. I wanted it to be over with.” Luckily, Fantasia overcame her battle with depression by focusing on her music and family.
