Deepika applauds KJo's admission about his clinical depression
The Piku actress is impressed by the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director for his honesty in a recent interview
The 44-year-old Karan Johar has made a
startling revelation- he was suffering from clinical depression.
While speaking about how he got to know about his condition, KJo said in
an interview lately, “I have read people speaking openly about their depression.
There was a phase in my life when I was really depressed. When I went through
that phase, I thought I am getting a cardiac arrest. I felt it in the middle of
a meeting two and half years ago, after which I left the meeting in between
saying I have something urgent to do and rushed to the doctor. He then said I
am having an anxiety attack. I went to a psychologist post that. Then I
realised that I had some internal issues to deal with, which got built up to
such point that it resulted in anxiety.”
“I went through a series
of anti-anxiety medication for it. A year and a half post that, when I stopped
it, I realised that I am in a much better place. Today I actually feel the
emotion of excitement and happiness. When you go through it, you stop feeling
that zing of emotion. Today I am getting all of them back,” he added.
Deepika who was also open
about undergoing a depression some time ago reached out to Karan Johar and
applauded his honesty.
Atta boy, KJo!
