If you have ever been or are depressed, it’s important to know that you are not alone. Millions of people experience symptoms of depression at some point in their life. The most famous of those millions may be Dustin Hoffman.
The screen icon revealed in a recent New York Times interview that he has been hit heavy by the disorder in the past, saying:
“It’s tactile, a green knot in my stomach. I once didn’t work for five years because of it.”
Five years is a longggg time to be feeling down in the dumps, but he’s walking, talking proof that things DO get better.
Years later, at 74-years-old, the actor is busier than ever. Not only has he just wrapped his first directorial effort called Quartet, but he’s starring in HBO’s critically-acclaimed series Luck.
If you’ve been depressed for a long period of time, don’t hesitate to get help so you can start living the life you want to live sooner than later!
