Dr. Pomales talked about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s struggle with depression.

Pomales has not treated Johnson but spoke as an expert on the subject of depression. “Depression can be manifested in different ways, such as difficulties completing daily tasks and responsibilities, experiencing irritability, isolation and hopelessness,” he says in the article. “As more people openly discuss their experiences with depression, I hope the stigma associated with mental health difficulties and treatment decreases and those who have not received help yet are able to do so.”
