Earlier this year, James wrote an op-ed for a global publication, detailing his experience of living with depression. He explained how he suffered from chronic depression due to dyslexia, and that even today both letters and numbers still jump and blur on the page in front of him. He added that some days he has difficulty spelling even the simplest words. He also revealed that he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) that all the quirks and foibles of his character started to make sense.
