Elvis was truly a wonderful human being, so sad we lost him so young

Do you think Elvis was depressed throughout life? I feel like he had demons of some sort
Thank you for your question! To answer in short, yes, I believe Elvis had depression, for many reasons. From his mother dying to Priscilla leaving him, I felt like he always had a feeling of abandonment that either contributed to his depression or was the root of it. Many “women figures,” in his life as you will, “left” him in each of their own ways. Also, many people are struggling through closed doors, which was the case for Elvis. We never know what was going on at that time in his life through his eyes. All the documents we have are from people around him, some close to him, some not, so we truly cannot know exactly what he, Elvis Presley, was feeling and thinking. Again, thank you for your question, I hope you have a wonderful night, bee!

The way I met Elvis was in the last year of high school, at Humes High School in 1953. When I moved from New York to Memphis, I still wore the same type of clothes we wore in New York and the guys in Memphis my age basically wore Levi’s, a t-shirt, and had a crew cut. Except one guy and that was Elvis, and he basically dressed the same way we did in New York.

Alan Wiess, who wrote the screenplays for several of Elvis’ motion pictures remembers his first meeting with Elvis in 1956. It was during the 21 year old star’s screen test for producer, Hal Wallis:
“The transformation was incredible. We knew instantly that we were in the presence of a phenomenon, electricity bounced off the walls of the sound stage. One felt it as an awesome thing - like an earthquake in progress, only without the implicit threat. Watching this insecure country boy, who apologized when he asked for a rehearsal as though he had done something wrong, turn into absolute dynamite when he stepped in the bright lights…he believed in it, and he made you believe it, no matter how ‘sophisticated’ your musical tastes were. I had not been a fan until that point, but to deny his talent would have been as foolish as it was impossible. He was a force, and to fail to recognize it would be the same as sticking a finger into a live socket and denying the existence of electricity.”
