Method Man Talks Openly About Managing Depression

Known for his distinctive voice and his timeless style, Method Man is shedding light on a different topic. This time, the 53-year-old hip-hop legend is sparking a conversation about depression. Recently, he had a heart-to-heart with fellow artist Fat Joe on the new Starz series, “Fat Joe Talks. ” The topic? Coping with depression bouts. The chat began casually, with Method Man emphasizing the importance of reaching out to loved ones when they come to mind. “If you suddenly think about someone, don’t just let it pass,” he advised. “Pick up the phone, send a message. It might mean the world to them. ” The conversation then took a deeper turn, focusing on depression. Method Man, a key member of Wu-Tang Clan, admitted that depression doesn't disappear for him. “It’s something I deal with, not something I've completely overcome,” he shared. He highlighted the power of small gestures from people who care. He recalled a moment when a friend sent him a heartfelt message that had a profound impact. “It was simple, but it meant a lot,” he said. The actor and musician also teased his upcoming memoir, hinting at a title that reflects his life journey. “It might be called ‘Bring The Pain,’ because that’s been a big part of my life,” he revealed. Method Man has been quite visible lately, including an appearance on the Tamron Hall Show. In a surprising confession, he told Hall that he isn’t entirely comfortable with his “sex symbol” status. “I’ll flaunt it while I can, but sometimes I just want to blend in,” he admitted.
