DeMar DeRozan opened up about struggle with depression
The player spoke with the Toronto Star
In a very open-minded interview with The Toronto Star, Raptors superstar DeMar DeRozan opened up about his struggles with depression and how important is to talk more about mental health in the USA. Here are some of his quotes from the interview:
"It’s one of them things that no matter how indestructible we look like we are, we’re all human at the end of the day,We all got feelings . . . all of that. Sometimes . . . it gets the best of you, where times everything in the whole world’s on top of you.”
"I always have various nights,I’ve always been like that since I was young, but I think that’s where my demeanour comes from. I’m so quiet, if you don’t know me. I stay standoffish in a sense, in my own personal space, to be able to cope with whatever it is you’ve got to cope with. We’re all human at the end of the day. That’s why I look at every person I encounter the same way. I don’t care who you are. You can be the smallest person off the street or you could be the biggest person in the world, I’m going to treat everybody the same, with respect."
