Currency: The article was published in 2015, according to the heading of the article it says that this is a healthcare article reviewed by Alice Watson. This article came out four years ago, but I think it is very helpful for my essay because being a Forbes article has real interviews with people of significant influence who suffer from depression.
Relevance: If this article is completely related to my writing since it mentions one of the greatest effects of fame such as depression. The public of this article is basically all people who constantly read Forbes articles and people with interest in Healthcare. The information is at a good level since it is not difficult to understand, but it makes a detailed analysis of what depression does to famous people. On the other hand, it could be used in a research paper because it is a reliable source and with veracity.

That is why I consider the article to be of high relevance for my essay since it has good accreditation and credibility.
Accuracy: The information comes from Forbes magazine, which proves psychological and rational information about why CEO’s and famous people suffer from depression, being part of a magazine the article should be reviewed by an editor therefore if it was review. On the other hand, it does not seem to be an article based on emotions since the author is not describing an experience but is explaining how fame comes to affect people at a sick level.
Purpose: The author’s purpose is to show how celebrities suffer from psychological problems and probe how the public does not realize the issues that they suffer because it is always thought that these people live in a perfect world for just having money. Still, the reality is that the more money you have, the problems are more significant.
