Jayson Gainza Reveals Suffering from Depression Despite Being a Comedian
Kapuso comedian Jayson Gainza revealed that he is suffering from depression despite his role to make people happy on television.
The former Kapamilya and now Kapuso comic revealed that, despite being a comedian, he is sometimes plagued by great melancholy, anxiety, and depression. He also mentioned that he had to see a specialist.
In an episode of the podcast “Updated with Nelson Canlas,” Jayson revealed a heartbreaking occurrence that put him to the test. He learned that his grandma had died while he was at the session.
Despite his sadness, Jayson remained professional and did not want to be packed up or interfere with the tape because of him, so he proceeded. He said he cried for around 30 minutes but still needed to look comical.
“Humagulgol lang ako nang humagulgol, siguro mga 15, 20, o 30 minutes yata ‘yon. “‘O, Jayson, magte-take na,’ kasi kailangan ako ang comic relief doon. Gawa pa rin kasi trabaho talaga, eh,” he said.
When his scene was through, Jayson cried and mourned in the car. Jayson also confessed that he and other comedians are not always in the mood to laugh. They, like everyone else, have down times and moments.
“Mahirap din kasi, eh. Kaya minsan nagkakaroon kami ng… nagkaroon ako ng depression, anxiety,” Jayson admitted.
It is believed that Jayson has already sought the services of a psychiatrist. He asked his psychiatrist why his body no longer recognizes his emotions.
“Sabi ko sa aking psychiatrist, ‘Bakit po ako nagkagano’n?’ Sabi niya, ‘Kasi hindi na alam ng katawan mo kung ano ‘yong emosyon mo talaga. Minsan nagteteleserye ka, minsan nagko-comedy ka. Ia-act mo ang comedy, mamaya kapag nagteleserye ka bigla mo namang pabababain ang emosyon mo, kaya nagsu-swing,” Jayson said.
“Kaya ang ginagawa ko talaga pagkatapos ng project, minsan kasi naghe-heavy drama rin ako, minsan pagkatapos no’n, after ng shoot, aalis kami ng family ko mga three days, bakasyon talaga. Talagang eenjoyin ko ang sarili ko, pinapagpag mo talaga ang lahat ng vibes na nakuha mo,” added the comedian.
