According to the National Institute Of Mental Health, at least 16.2 million Americans have experienced a major depressive episode in the past. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America estimates more than 40 million American have some form of an anxiety disorder.
So, with these truly alarming numbers, why is the stigma around mental illness just as firm as it was 20 years ago? That's what superstar singer Josh Groban is trying to change one interview at a time. - Zábava
Josh, we, your fans are with you all the way. You are not alone. We love you and pray you will always stay strong. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed about or feeling alone. I myself felt a depression years ago and for 3 years grabbled with it. I was literally sick every day. Taking meds wasn't helping so I sought strength from God to help me get through each day. We are with you. We love you and so we ask you to stay strong knowing how your fans feel. ❤️
Thank you, Josh, for being vocal about depression. There is still so much stigma attached to mental health issues that it continues to be difficult to discuss with anyone not afflicted by it.
Makes me like him even more, I know how it feels to suffer depression .God Bless and Keep you Josh
Hey he is great

You music is an.inspiration to everyone . God bless you... more power. Stay safe always.
I am a senior. I love Josh and have listened to his music from the start of his career. He is very brave to discuss what he is going through. I admire him for talking to the public about his experience. I suffered until I was in my 40's with panic/anxiety. I have taken a generic form of Paxil since I was diagnosed and still take it. It takes a supreme effort to go out into the world for me. What I have learned from my experience is self-love. I have learned a lot about me and found the ability to pat myself on the back and learned ways to comfort myself. Every day is a challenge. Josh, you are amazing and just a super caring person. It has been a joy to watch you grow as an artist. Hugs
Josh, you are a beautiful person, sharing your personal struggles to help others. I have a new found respect for you.
Hang in there! You’re worth it!

Thanks, Ellen. I can really relate to you.
You are definitely the most caring and loving person.
Your songs and your voice are so inspiring. I've love everything you sing. Be happy and healthy. You deserve it. All my love. Your favourite fan.
Thank you Josh Groban. We love you for sharing your beautiful music and songs
Josh is my favorite singer. He is a very caring and lovable person and has helped many struggling singers over the year
Depression and anxiety is a hard thing to talk about. It’s also a hard thing to live with! A hard fight! Praying for this talented young man, with guts and talent!!!!
I am a senior citizen born and raised in Hawaii and have been a fan of yours ever since you began singing as a teenagerwith Celine Dion. Your eloquent voice and angelic songs have given me so much inspiration and happiness. Going throughlife's journey, I too, have experienced many episodes of anxiety and depression. We are all humans and with God's help we can overcome our "daily problems." Everyday I hear your songs on CZcams. Thank you so very much!!!{Mahalo nui loa!!!) Robert S. J. Hu
Mr. Grobin, thankyou mightily for your singing. And now even more so for your other voice, the silence being broken will help millions! You are the healer and the healed. Be safe. 🤲🙏🙏🙏
Be Well, Josh Groban. Forever Loved❣️. You are the Best❣️. Stay true to yourself❣️🙏❤️.
Josh Groban, your beautiful music and voice has helped me endure my brain tumor.
My husband and I went to two of your concerts here in Houston, Texas in 2011 and 2013.👏
Stay TRUE to yourself!❣️🙏❤️ Forever Remembered🌹 Forever Loved💕🎶
I agree it is not a weakness to reach out for help. People often are unaware of how many people suffer anxiety and depression. It is far better to seek help than to deal with the hell it brings to an individual. Than you Josh for sharing. You have so much to offer to yourself and your fans. Good luck on your journey.
Love all your music, your voice is such a God sent blessing! Please don’t ever give up! You are loved!!!♥️♥️
Thank you for your honest disclosure about the pain you feel. The music you give is an important tool for others to use. It’s beautiful, honest and uplifting.
Thank you, Josh! I’m doing well and I try to focus on the beautiful nature that surrounds me.❤️
Thank you so much Josh for your years of music and your show of tears.
Josh, I know what it's like to live in a harsh reality. But listening to your voice helped me escape the harsh reality of the world and also helped me persuade myself to become a better man. My prayers go out to you.
Josh, you are a beautiful person, an astonishing musician, who gives so much to the world. I am in my 70s, and I love your singing, as does my grandaughter, in her 20s, and my children in their 50s. I hate to think of you suffering so. Stay on the path, and know that you are loved worldwide. G.

Thank you Josh Groban! So many of us suffer either daily or occasionally with anxiety and depression and many times even our families don't understand. I love your honesty about this and send prayers your way.
you are brilliant , im amazed by your love in your songs , you are so gifted , your songs take my breath away , thank you for sharing yourself with world.
So happy that someone is speaking out about depression. Thank you from a fellow sufferer Judy
Josh, I love you for your talent and now for your honesty as well. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul.
I can't thank you enough Josh!! I suffer from bipolar, anxiety, PTSD, agoraphobia, and fear of people. These disorders are very, very hard to deal with. If you have a broken leg, people understand. My disorders, along with millions, aren't seen and misunderstood, sometimes not tolerated. I do take medications to stabilize me and help with suicidal thoughts. It's critical for people to understand the severity of these disorders. It seems when celebrities talk about it and share knowledge, people listen. So , thank you again for being a voice for us that need it. I can be a scary and lonely life.
I've followed you from the time David Foster promoted you. Your voice and octaves are incredible!! Bless you for your beautiful music and being an advocate!!
I hear yah
Hi Deborah. Good for you, sharing your story. I just turned 70 and also have PTSD, depression, anxiety and ADHD. I’m always open about it, because I know I haven’t caused it. Life can seem heavy at times. But don’t ever let suicidal thoughts take over. Look how much good you have already done by being open. It’s comforting to know we are not alone. God is so loving and wants us to succeed. Stay well. Be blest☦️👩🏻🦳🐾 Ohio
Prayers for you Josh Groben. I applause you for helping others with your struggles. I get it, you can be in a room full of people and still be lonely. There us still a stigma with issues with mental disorders. Hopefully that will change sooner than later. I wish you Peace. 💝💝💝
Better yet, don't read @Ana Martins comments. They are dismissive and presumptuous and exhibit the same 'this is what he's obviously feeling all the time so he can't be suffering depression because this is the smiling face he shows us' nonsense that society seems to insist defines the people in the limelight, reinforcing the stigma and ignoring how many often seem so very happy and productive until they're found on the floor somewhere after committing suicide and we're all left asking "how did nobody see that coming?". Better to go to the source, watch the interviews over the years he's given on this topic and keep supporting him as you obviously already do.
We’re all a little broken, aren’t we? Some on the outside, some on the inside. Broken....not damaged....
I love those words, "Broken....not damaged...."
I suffer from depression and it is a very common disease.. I love you r music and sometimes I go to sleep listening to you.
I pray your doing well Josh your certainly a man with a beautiful voice we love your music. Be well!
God bless u josh. Thank u for your openness and honesty. I think we have all had times of depression and anxiety. After all we r human. I can only hope we each have someone to reach out to when we r on a downward trend. I still love your voice and music. Will probably b a fan forever (I am also a senior citizen).
Josh you are one of my favorites. You sing my all time favorite songs “You’ll never walk alone” I have listened to it countless times. I still cry when I hear it. It’s great that you were able too help such a amazing person to fulfill her dreams. I’ve been through the storms, the troubled water. You’re awesome keep on singing and making our hearts melt.
Just keep singing and making our ♥️ happy!
I really admire hi for that. Too many people think they are unreachable. For that, I say he is truly a HERO.
I have been fighting with depression my whole life. I'm on medication now but it still rears it's ugly head every now and then. I get a lot of doubts when I try something new, so, i push forward and fight the good fight to free myself from this debilitating sickness. It makes me feel bad when I lose to it but once I win, one win is worth many loses.
My Lord God is my anchor, in all that I do. He loves me with an undying Love, something no one on this earth can give me.
God has blessed you with so very many things, good looks, awesome range of voice, talent, and a wonderful conscience that keeps you on the straight and narrow. You are a blessed man.
Omg Josh you are so beautiful inside and out .you are something people look up to .love your self more xxxoo
Thank you for being so honest Josh; not everyone is brave enough to do what you've done. I wish you a brighter future, and I also want to say thank you for your music. I hope you get all the love and support you deserve (and this goes for everybody).
Josh Groban if you happen to read this, there's a Christian song I recommend "I am not alone" hope you will find refuge and comfort from the message and set you free from unhealthy feelings because you are never alone. I love your song and the singer of course.
I'm so glad Josh had the courage to admit he's struggled w/mental health issues as I have probably my whole life which manifested itself as addiction. I'm still struggling & if it weren't for Josh & his music, I honestly don't know what I'd do
Thanks Josh for opening up! This is a stigma that needs to disappear so that people aren't ashamed to get the help they need!
THE MAIN THING FOR DEPRESSED PEOPLE TO KNOW IS TO HAVE HOPE AND FAITH. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
Also getting to the cause of it
Ana Martins, I saw your thread of communication with Survivrs, and I really appreciated how you came to mutual understanding through sharing a lot of your backgrounds. It was very helpful to me personally. As a person who gets depressed periodically as a byproduct of CFS (in my past), ADD (diagnosed later in life), and residual effects of a mild stroke and natural gas poisoning last year, even though mitigated to some extent by my faith and relationship with God, I know how someone coming across as being dismissive of coping strategies (like listening to music or singing to raise one’s spirits) can be really a downer. Having depressive moods, even if it may not be considered clinical depression, can be very debilitating and paralyzing for even long periods of time, as I well know. The best thing that can happen for a person prone to depression or depressive moods (really, the best thing for each and every person) is to be listened to, to feel understood, and be encouraged to do whatever it takes for them to thrive and blossom and have hope. I think you know what I mean, and from what I have seen of you elsewhere, I know you are wonderfully capable of expressing empathy and encouragement for anyone who experiences depression in any of its forms. 🥰 I encourage you in your journey to continue to do all that helps you, whatever raises you up so that you can walk on mountains!!
We love you, Josh! Thanks for sharing. Today we feel a little bit less lonely...
Saw the sensitivity of your Soul Josh and thank you for letting others who feel the same know. Love your voice and what you are, there is a lot of love in the world for you.
You have the greatest voice that comes so naturally. Besides singing, you are a great Actor, which I never knew. I have watched “The Good Cop” with Tony Danza at least 50 times already. You are adorable in that part. Please keep acting up and your one of a kind singing. God Bless You. You are needed in this world.
I know depression, anxiety, and even panic attacks very well. I have suffered for years, I have cured myself, but after a while they reappear. Unfortunately, the sad things of our past can not be erased, sometimes they are forgotten, but they are always there. Unfortunately I ruined my career, but I am very happy that Josh is out of this. I follow him and admire him for years. Good life.
When we suffer from these "issues/problems", we can find our "peace" within one place and one place ONLY! It's strange to most people to hear this; but in all honesty, for those of us who do suffer these anxieties, depressions, thoughts of things that we don't even want to admit we have, there is only one way to find our "cure" and that is for us to kneel and humble ourselves to the ONLY ONE who can give us the peace and guidance we so desperately need!
It's a sad shame that we balk, roll our eyes and laugh when we are offered this answer to our problems; but if we put our egos and assumptions aside and actually "try it", --- with sincerity --- you'd be AMAZED at the "cure" that you will be given!
I know there will be many who laugh and criticize what I'm saying; but my answer to these critics is this: obviously you have placed YOURSELF above and before the ONLY ONE who truly has all the answers to your questions and the cure for which you seek! Should you be "daring" enough to actually try what I'm saying, your life WILL take a drastic turn and be forever changed. So I ask you to put your preconceived notions aside and seek, with all of your heart, the ONLY ONE who has the answers you'll EVER need, and be prepared to have your life forever changed!
It’s all mental and it’s real, then through God’s word and the understanding we learn to deal with our issues of the past/ our demons and not give them the power we use to. We just have to learn to forgive ourselves and others and not let our feelings rule us. This is my conclusion after sooo many years of the struggle. I am so much better now, but it took self awareness and knowledge. Peace.
Every thought, every thing that happens in your life will stay in your memory forever. You cannot erase memories you don't want to remember, as much as you wish you could. You have to accept them as part of your life which is sometimes very painful. Only people who have experienced depression themselves can really understand what you are going through in times like this.
Thanks Josh! It’s a big step to speak in public. I’ve been a mental health advocate for years so when I’m in a dark place I tell people about it.
Josh you have a wonderful voice and a great life ahead of you Get well soon You fans miss you
Thank you josh. Someone need your sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story! There are so many going through depression and anxiety, and I think it helps knowing that even the well known go through it too helps normalize it.
Josh you have been such a wonderful part of my life. I listen to your music every single day as it brings me peace hope and joy to my life
I am 69 years old and have lost a child to suicide my husband to cancer and my own heartattack and one heart surgery. Your voice was with me through it all. I adopted my 2 grandchildren and played your song you are loved
3 of the most important people in my life are bipolar. You my dear man are not alone.i just watched the entire season of a good cop
I watched it all night. Your new song granted is awesome. You are my connection with God through your voice and music. Please don't give up.
A little bit of heaven escapes from his mouth every time he opens it. ❤️
So true!!! His voice is iconic and full of soul!
Absolutely, I get chills when I hear his music!
Just bloody awesome Josh and I love the song...just beautiful...

Wonderful words. Made me cry.
Lynn Finn Oh Thank you Lynn that is very kind of you to reply . I adore Josh so much, his amazing talent and the fact he can relate to others and is humble. I appreciate your reply. Much love and kindest regards to you and your family.xoxo
@Josh Groban If you were the real Josh , how nice would that be. A famous star has no time to reply to me. So many people who scam. Unbelievable. Anyway does not deter me from making heartfelt compliments to Josh. Kindest regards.If indeed I am wrong my sincere apologies. Have a great day my very best wishes.
God Bless you Josh💖
For speaking out for so many.
I have struggled through depression
and anxiety...the stigma still there
but it brings hope to so many!!
Thank you! Angels with you!!💖🍃🌹🍃
Josh you are so love,respected and admired and that’s awesome but...it doesn’t help in those times when you feel so overwhelmed that it’s hard to be with yourself. Your song River means soooooo much to me and is a great comfort. I have passed it on to someone I love dearly who struggles depression and know it’s a comfort. Can’t wait to get your new cd or dvd.
Christine Brand I love you Josh. You will have no idea of how many people you have touched and helped. None of us are alone. Thank you for being you,
Ana Martins I agree with you! I don't know anyone who hasn't been down at one time or another, and for me music is a prayer, no matter what I may be singing or listening to you, your blessed Josh! Thank you for your heartfelt music!
Josh Groban, I first heard your voice 20yrs, bought your CD and played it over and over. You have a wonderful gift and have given me renewed hope. I too have suffered Depression and anxiety. Almost 6yrs ago I suffered a burst aneurysm, survived, another was found. Each day I thank God I survived. the neurosurgeon said I've been given a second life. Your song. You'll never walk alone.
Yay you for just being honest and the good person you are!!!
Josh, you are a beautiful person, sharing your personal struggles to help others. I have a new found respect for you.
Just found you tonight wish you health both physical and mental . Love your voice
Feeling lonely and isolated is not a mental disorder. It is a natural and rather inevitable part of everyone's life.
He's a human being just like everyone else! So I'm glad that Josh Groban showed us this vulnerable side to himself. I'm a huge fan of his, and I wish him the very best. God bless this man!
Wish him the best from England brill singer what a gift
Another underrated singer/musician. Love his music!
Never underrated. He has always been an award winning singer/songwriter considered on of the best in the world.
I don't think he is ...everyone KNOWS he is one of ther very best!
I just want to thank you Josh, Very few people know of my struggles, no matter how much we want to remove the stigma it is so hard to use the words to say it, your so strong for coming out. The river makes me feel a bit understood.
Thank you Josh, and yes it is a life long struggle. I've had major depression and panic disorder as well as several other mental health illnesses for about 50 years now. I grew up alone, no one to play with, and when I went to school, I had no clue how to socialize with others and remained painfully shy through high school. I started having panic attacks when I was about 13. I didn't know that's what they were at the time. When people talk about a stroke, everyone feels horrible, but label it mental illness and nobody says a word, making us suffer in silence.
Ana, obviously you don't have as much as a high school education, if that, but did you read that MILLIONS of Americans have mental health problems but they are too scared of losing their job when their employer finds out they are seeing a therapist or a shrink. If only it were as easy as you think. Mental health offices have been vacated and closed in my state, and there are so many people who need the help. Co-pays to see a shrink aren't something that's easily affordable for many. There is still a HUGE stigma about mental illness. Just let someone say they have depression and everyone near them runs away as if the person was a leper and they were terrified of leprosy. The simple word depression even scares people. My problems are complicated, but I'm not schizophrenic, I wouldn't kill or injure someone. I have spent hundreds of hours in a shrinks office. That was between '97 and '03, but she and her husband moved to another state where she had grown up. She was closer than a sister to me. I could email her. She was compassionate and paid attention to everything I said or asked. For the next 7 years I tried to find someone who could try to fill her boots, but all I found were psychologists who yawned and watched the clock. I don't respond to any anti-depressants. I went through a mix of 18 meds, sometimes 2 things at a time, but after at least a couple of months, I noticed no change. I finally told the guy who prescribes my meds for anxiety/panic attacks to quit trying any others because if they are new, my insurance won't pay and I'm on disability so my income is limited. Most of us, whether we are famous or unknown try to keep that little secret tightly locked up. I can't even communicate with either of my sisters. When I was 13, my oldest sister attempted suicide. At some point in the 80's, my other sister was a receptionist at the mental health clinic, and after 2 weeks, listening to her talk, you would think she had M.D. behind her name. It doesn't make her want to be around her kid sister with what she knows. For people wanting to get help, they will usually find that the waiting list is long. That is as bad as calling the suicide hotline and being put on hold. For anyone battling any kind or severity of mental health illness, my heart breaks for you because I put those ugly shoes on every day, and I wished something could be done to help everyone. So, don't just jump in and assume something you know nothing about.
Ok, I'm sorry I jumped right down your throat because whenever someone just pops off with "see a therapist" they typically have no clue about mental health illness and what any of them do to a person. I was closing in on 40 when one day I was in with my family doctor and before he left, I said "can I ask you something?". He backed up, closed the door, and I had his full attention. I told him that one day the previous week, I'd been on a trip home from work and somewhere in the middle, I just started crying my eyes out and had no clue why. I was thinking about if I saw a semi truck coming my way, I could just swerve into his lane and die. It took several therapists, several meds, and he finally sent me to a shrink who if nobody else could help me, she could. Well, it took about 6 months before she could get past my facade. I was in health care, and I always had a smile plastered onto my face, something I actually learned to do as a child so that I wouldn't hear either 1) "I will give you something to cry about" or 2) it was a great way to keep everyone from asking "what's wrong?" when I didn't want to tell anyone anything, but she watched my leg bounce up and down or my fingers twisting around each other or if I had a bottle of pop, I might be twisting it as if I were trying to choke the life out of it but one day, (I was only getting 15 minutes with her each time) she asked me to write stuff down for her. I started out with a half page, and eventually, I had a word processor and was printing out 3 or 4 page letters for her to read. She was the first person other than my husband who has heard some of the worst times of my life. Once she started figuring out what was going on with me, I was having to work out a way to see her at her main office for a full hour. Keeping that secret from an employer was very hard. In fact, I had finally been pushed absolutely as far as I could at work one day and I asked for the next day off but was told no. In less than 5 minutes, I had sent my shrink the info, and in 10 minutes while working with a patient, my supervisor came into my office, slapped a Fax down on my desk and asked me what that was about....I was fucking stunned. I also felt my career was over because it had come through showing her letter head, and not only did she tell them that I would get the next day off, I was to have the following 6 weeks off...Had I been alone without a patient in my room, I can think of what would have gone through my head, but not what I was going to say. After I read it, I looked up at her and told her "I don't know what that's about, all I wanted off was one day." She grabbed that fax and stomped out of my room. Finally in '99, after 18 solid years of a job that I loved, I resigned. My employer had done about every damn thing possible to embarrass or shame me, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I'd already had a nervous breakdown about 6 weeks prior to that and I had my wrist sliced so wide open and bleeding down the drain in the bathroom. I didn't expect my husband to get home early the day I did that, but fortunately our 2 boys were at the babysitters house, and besides a bunch of sutures, I got to spend 15 hours in a psych ward. My issues go back to when I was about 5. When I was 8 or 9, I was throwing my arm into a wood fence post hoping to break my arm just to get some attention from my parents, but I was never able to accomplish it. All I ever got from my efforts were bruises. I grew up alone on a farm, and when I was old enough to go to school, I didn't know how to socialize with other kids and was pretty quiet all through my school years. So while I had no idea how fucked up my head was as a child....I do now, and wish my shrink could have fixed me before her family chose to move 1,000+ miles away in 2003. I wrote to her for a few years, but as I had to wait longer and longer for her responses, I finally gave up. I've started letters so many times but eventually deleted them. So again, I'm sorry for the assumptions I made. It's just that when I see a comment like the one you left, I get really pissed off because not all of us can be fixed. My husband can verify that. What is as hard on me as major depression and panic disorder is PTSD and BPD. What really amped things up was my dad's death 6 days before my 37th birthday. Sorry this got so long, thanks for the education.
Ana, no need to be sorry, we both said things that were probably uncalled for, and that is what is bad about this place. You can't always be sure how a person means something. I have problems with people who want to tell me to just cheer up because I want to put a fist in their face, and I thought you were one of them, but you're quite the opposite, and I am really glad we got to talk this out. I truly appreciate what you said. I have started so many letters to my former shrink, just to go back to where we left off, but it's been so long now. I have a feeling she would smile if I sent her a letter, but I would probably be setting myself up for disappointment because if she did what she did after she was away which was to not reply for a long time, it didn't help my depression, so eventually I just quit. Losing her was nearly as bad as if I had lost my husband or one of our kids. I'm grateful that she was able to help me as much as she did.I think one of my sisters actually hates her because I became closer to her than my sister. Oh well. Have a good week!!!!
Thank you Ana! You are very kind!!
Josh, I love your music!! You not only have a beautiful voice, but you also have a beautiful heart to come out about your mental health. It's true when someone suffers from depression & anxiety, it truly is a lonely road. No one should be afraid or ashamed to admit they need help with their mental health.
I too have mental health issues. It runs in my family,but your music is very helpful and I love you and what you do.
Thank you ❤️ 😊 💓
I'm not suffocating from no depression I feel so much love with my heart for all I am the beauty love the feeling the warmesthe one that's the truth
Thank you, Josh, for sharing your struggle. I have suffered with clinical depression and severe anxiety for most of my adult life. It's hard to deal with. People don't understand what we're going through. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "cheer up." If I could cheer up, I would. There is a stigma still around mental illness. It does make many of us feel alone. I certainly do. Although I know people in my life care, when I'm very down, I can't seem to remember that. It means the world to me and many others suffering from these debilitating conditions that you are being so open about your issues. Thank you again, Josh. I know you'll help not only your fans, but many others around the world. God bless.
I'm glad you were able to come out about your depression and anxiety I hope that you're able to deal with it perfectly well from when this is posted until now Bez keep making great music make it your therapy
I have suffered with depression and PTSD most of my life. I take my medicine twice a day and when things get too out of focus mI jump right back into therapy. Lonely in a room full of people I am. But I love to make people happy, smile, and laugh. I don't want anyone feeling like I do. Thanks to God I make it through the days and nights much easier. I understand Josh. Be strong and never give up. By the way I loveyour songs and your voice. Your songs raise me up.
How sad it is that Josh has gone through so much! When we look at him it’s the last I thing I thought he would suffer from as he’s so loved, but I guess it’s a very lonely world!! How do we know if friends are suffering if they don’t speak about their problems 😢😢😢 Go easy on yourself Josh, but know you are loved by millions! ❤️❤️❤️
@Josh Groban ❤️❤️❤️❤️ stay strong & keep singing we need to hear more music from you ! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
It ought not be considered “brave” to open up about having mental instability. This is the 21st century, but the way people talk about it you would think it was still 50 years ago! I’m coming to the end of my second year without anti depressants after 24 years continuous use and a breakdown in 1997. So, as it were, there! It affects one in 4 of us!! Thank you Josh Groban for sharing this with us!
Thank you for sharing and know that we are with and support you.
Healing takes time and I hope that you will bounce back feeling great again, you are a wonderful singer and always will be
Brother!!!! Josh my man!! Love you brother, your music is what keeps many of us going! I'm so proud of you for sharing this, so many of us live w no hope at the end of the day and to see a man we honor and appreciate humble himself is truly an encouragement! Don't stay quiet no matter what assholes and bullies may exist, if your depressed and you can't fuck w life no more, fucking say something!!!! While there's 50 bullies talking shit there's a thousand more w an open heart. I needed to see this today, I also suffer from daily depression and major anxiety, PTSD, and borderline, social depression anxiety. Josh, your music has kept me going for yrs, I pray for your mental health and that you continue pursuing help, and don't stop talking about it brother!!! Love you dude, we all in this together!!
God bless Josh Groban
Josh, God has given you a way beyond beautiful Voice. I have listened to your song, He Raise Me Up so many times that I have lost track.
I do know that depression is a cruel disease. For now on, you will be in my prayers. May the Holy One protect you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace.
I love your music and I do love you for the person you are. God bless your career. With much love!

You are not alone. When I hit a deep depression it takes all I can muster to claw my way back out. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by a loving family who know that if I reach out to them they bring me back up for air. Thank you so much for being brave enough to share this with all of us.
A fan.

Love you, Josh!!!!! 💓💖💝💛💜💗💞💚💙💟❣💌💫💥
You are not alone!💞We stand with you!!💞
Josh thank you for sharing your story. First off I have seen you in concert three times, your voice moves me, your energy and kindness are wonderful to watch! I work in the medical field and see how stigmatized people are with anxiety and depression, they are rarely taken seriously. I believe heartache and pain need to be brought into the light and shared, you are now able to hold up the lantern of light for those coming down the dark path. Keep going Josh and please keep singing! God bless you.
Thank you for opening up about this illness. I’ve been there too but survived from really dark place and found light and brightness back into my life. I love your voice and music, they have been really helpful in my path. I see you beautiful inside and out💖. Love from Finland!
Josh, thank you for coming out and telling of your personal struggle with depression and anxiety!!!! I have suffered with both for years and take meds to help deal with it. Bravo for being strong enough and brave enough to talk about this "touchy" subject.
My granddaughter suffers from extreme anxiety ... is a gifted artist and musician . You give us hope ❤️🙏🏻.... sending love and gratitude .
Thank you for sharing Josh. You are not alone. You are loved. Your voice is awesome and have a contagious smile. Thanks for being you.
Hello how are you doing 😊😊
I am sorry to hear you have suffered anxiety. I am trying to manage my mental illness for over a year but recently I use your songs as music therapy and it helped me through a lot of dark times so thank you for everything you do! Thank you for keeping my faith in place:D
Truly you are not alone: Most of my life I have felt like I was inside a glass jar; I could clearly see others around me, but I could not touch them, nor could they touch me. And now I am dying....I still cannot feel others touch me, but through writing poetry I have apparently begun to touch others. That's what your music does for me.
Ask God to come into your life and fill you
Psalm 55....bless you for sharing
I suffer from depression, paranoia and because of that I’m an isolationist. I have my family but personally I prefer to be with just them. As long as I have a place away from people I don’t know I’m cool. So I completely understand how Josh feels.
May you be blessed with joy and light. We are blessed that
you share your beautiful talent
With us. Many thanks.
I love you and your music I wish I could meet you you are in my prayers
Josh, you are an inspiration and have been for a long time. I couldn't be more pleased celebrities are speaking out. The stigma isn't gone but diminishing. Admitting the need for help and asking are two of the most difficult instances in my life. Thank you!! 💕🙏
We are all a little broken, depression, addiction, love, losses and it's a long road back. When you hit bottom and think your alone people come along to show you the light. Hats off to you my friend, thank you for sharing because everyday you do you are stronger for it
Hello how are you doing 😊
Prayers and blessings Josh! Thank you ... me too.
May God give him strength to live. Through these times.
Beautiful voice...beautiful man
Thank you Josh for helping others
Josh’s music really spoke to me when our three Wheatens were each battling cancer, going through chemo and eventually leaving us. So many songs like “Awake” or “February Song” and “Remember” show his understanding of pain and sadness. He’s always been one of my favorite people. Thank you for your honesty
Thank you for sharing your story Josh. Many Blessings today and every day thereafter with your health.
@Josh Groban Your music has become part of me...part of my emotional chemistry...It is braided within my life...I will always listen . As I listen to your music I feel it gives me ''permission' to go deep, to paint my pain, to cry, to dance an ancient dance, to sing and to just be....your music is part of my healing in this lifetime. Deep Thanks, Sending Blessings to your health , Josh.
Josh you are an amazing musician/singer/songwriter who is right there with Bruce Springsteen and a bunch of other creatives who struggle with the same thing. So glad you found some help and used your own creativity to help you rise above the darkness into the LIGHT. Brave! I too like many of your fans have been following you since the beginning and send you love, strength, hope all ways for the best. Be safe Linda
You are loved and supported in your journey, Josh!

Josh,
As a therapist and a family member who understands these types of struggles, I thank you for coming out publicly. I am absolutely that certain your courage encouraged others to seek the help that anyone coping with these issues truly deserves to receive! Your music has always touched a deep part of my soul. Always know that the world needs all of your gifts: your music, your sense of humor, your sensitivity and your kindness. The spoof videos you created recently got me through a very difficult time! THANK YOU for all you have given to me and know that you will be in my prayers 🙏♥️🤗
❤❤
I've had depression and dibilitating anxiety for years. When you get at least some recovery, you come out a better person. You never take things for granted.
Beautiful, meaningful song Josh. You are without a doubt the most awesome singer ever. You have the most gorgeous voice. You will be my favorite till I am no longer here.
