Deepika applauds KJo's admission about his clinical depression

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!
