Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds speaks for the first time publicly about his lifelong battle with anxiety.
In an open interview with Mr. Porter magazine about his anxiety disorders, the actor says: "I tend to get pretty depressed and have problems with my anxiety disorder and all that. I train every day, otherwise I'm always on the ground. For myself it's all psychological. Sport is a way to drive my demons away."
But he also finds good things about his psychological problems. He said he would never rest on his laurels and strive for more and more: "I mean, it's definitely an anti-complacency pill, but you have to get a grip on it."
Depression: Reynolds sees reason in father
A father of two and married to actress Blake Lively, he sees the cause of his depression and panic attacks in his own childhood. He draws a picture of a strict and choleric father who did not make it easy for his children: "This is not supposed to be a crying story, everyone has to carry their package and I am not exempt from it, but waking up at home was never relaxed or just and I know that I've dealt with fear in many different ways in my life, "says Ryan Reynolds in an interview.
