The actor, comedian, and TV host, Drew Carey, has opened up about his past suicide attempts and the periods of deep depression he has faced.
Carey shared in an interview on ‘Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?‘ that at 18 and in his early 20s, he attempted to take his own life, driven by feelings of alienation and hopelessness. The actor further admitted that even now, he sometimes grapples with dark thoughts about his own relevance and the lack of meaning in life.
Despite this, he emphasized that his mental health is considerably better today and attributes part of his recovery to learning to believe in himself and setting goals, as well as constantly seeking self-help resources.
