In the video, Daniel Bryan also revealed why it’s crucial to find some method of healing. “A shaman helped me very differently than any therapist that I’ve ever gone to, but some people relate well to therapists, so it’s important to find a mode of healing that works for you,” said Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan stated that dealing with depression is a difficult process, but you have to keep on trying.

“You may still struggle with depression, but you have to keep trying, not only for yourself but for the people you love,” Bryan was quoted as saying.
