I think he has a point

Maybe, but there's more to it

It depends, the reason for depression is indvidual

I'm convinced it's a big part of it yes

Not sure, I think it can variate

Professionals still don't have an answer to this question

I think Jim Carrey understands it very well

Maybe the question should be Why do you feel the need to be a character ?
What's wrong with you being just you ?

@Picklebobble2 That's a good point. If we shed off who we are, and just let us be. Maybe depression can't happen?

@Queendragonfly if Carrey were making that statement after having done Ace Ventura or The Mask I could probably understand it.
Both are headaches to watch let alone be the star of.
All that manic energy must have been exhausting and the idea that he was having to be these characters rather than something a bit more life-like would certainly have any actor questioning their sanity.
But he has had some good roles too.
Some in some quite clever stories.
