Comedian and TV-star Wayne Brady, unbeknownst to the public and even his close friends, has been battling depression for years. Recently, however Brady openly discussed his mental health struggles, the impact his friend Robin Williams' death had on him, and the "double standard in Hollywood when it comes to admitting to #depression as opposed to a drug problem".
"'People are like, 'Wayne Brady's always happy!'" he says. "No I'm not. Because I'm human.'
'Having a bad day is one thing, having a bad week is another, having a bad life … You don't want to move, you can't move in the darkness," he explains. "You're like, 'I am just going to sit right here and I want to wallow in this. As much as it hurts, I am going to sit right here because this is what I deserve. This is what I deserve, so I am going to sit here because I am that horrible of a person.'"
