Zach Braff is a Bit Depressed

People Magazine reports that Zach Braff recently opened up about suffering from mild depression. If you've seen his film Garden State, you'll recognize some of his symptoms.

"I think I suffer from some mild depression," he tells Parade magazine in an interview to be published on Sunday. "So to have millions of people go, 'I watched your movie and related' was the ultimate affirmation that I'm not a freak."

Braff, 31, who wrote and directed Garden State, says that he stands out in Hollywood – and he doesn't mind. "I don't have any famous friends other than the guys I work with on Scrubs, he says. "I don't care about image and all that nonsense. I'm in sweat pants every day. I don't play the game at all."

On the horizon for Braff is a film called Fast Track with Amanda Peet. It's a romantic comedy that will be relased in March.
