Anxiety? Actor Jonah Hill, Admits to His Long-Time Battle Wth Anxiety!

Do you notice a pattern among athletes, actresses, and other people in the public eye over the last few years?

Ever since the pandemic began, we’ve had more and more people coming out admitting their own mental health issues.

The very well-known actor, Jonah Hill, recently deleted his Instagram account after talking about his long-time battle with anxiety.

Many super successful people struggle with the constant pressures to have their products explode successfully, to be viewed as amazing individuals, but with the pressure they’re under, they could be denying their addictions, depression, PTSD experiences as well as anxiety.

Think about all of the athletes including Simone Biles and Michael Phelps, the Olympic gold medalists, who have spoken about their battles with mental health issues just within the last year.


In my private practice of 43 years, we see more and more executives and entrepreneurs coming into our practice struggling with anxiety, self-confidence, and self-esteem! The world would never believe it!

This year I’ve worked with a major-league pitcher who had been battling depression for a number of years. During our work, we got to the core of it, and actually got him off of the anti-depressive medication he was on because it was creating a void in his life, everything seemed numb, and nothing excited him anymore.


When major league athletes and actors come to counselors like myself, you know that they’ve been battling this for a very long time, whatever the issue is, before reaching out for help because they are supposed to be the strong ones! The successful ones! The ones that have their lives all together!

Jonah Hill just did the entire world a benefit by deleting his social media accounts, he has also said that he will not do any more promotional tours for his movies, as a way to take greater control of his mental health.

I love what he’s doing and what he stands for!

More and more people are starting to come to realize that the pandemic has created a lot of mental health issues but it has also simply exposed these issues that have been with these people for so many many years.

Even though I’ve been in this industry counseling people on sex, addiction, and porn addiction for 45 years, we have never seen the increase of these two addictions, and they can be quite different, that we’ve seen over the past five years. Porn addiction hijacks the brain, and it makes it very difficult to stay in any type of a committed relationship, because individuals become so used to the constant variety and changing of the different fetishes as well as body types and experiences that the Internet offers up even for free! SEX Addiction, when we’re talking about an individual that must have multiple partners, or someone that even forces their partner to have sex more than maybe the partner wants, it can be a completely different ball game in regard to treatment and recovery. And that’s because of the emotional involvement that many people get into when they have a sex addiction with real people, where that doesn’t happen as frequently if someone is addicted to porn, they may like certain porn actors or actresses, but they don’t create an emotional bond. But as I mentioned above, porn, addiction is nothing to take simple or easy, I have multiple clients right now in their late 20s that started their porn addiction at the age of 10 and even though they have wonderful partners they can’t have sex on a regular basis because they cannot keep an erection due to their craving for variety versus just being with one person. Every Addiction, we treat in a very similar way which might sound surprising, even our new book on permanent alcohol and life recovery, we use most of that information in that book with people who are addicted to sex or porn or food or social media or video games… I think you get the idea so many addictions when we get into treatment are treated in a very similar fashion. First we find the origin of the addiction, which means when did it start, why did it start, how did it start, and how long has it been going on? And we treat the whole person not just the Addiction part of it, because we want the whole person to gain that self-confidence back and self-love, which we lose when we’re involved with any addiction whatsoever. If you’re struggling with porn or sex addiction, go ahead and look at our permanent addiction, recovery page, study deeply study this page and that should give you some good ideas and how we approach all addictions. In 2024, the top addictions that we are working with of course are sex and porn, food, alcohol, pot and social media addiction. The addictions continue to rise in this country and until we get to the origin, which we do our practice, and then add solution steps, so people will not cross addict, or relapse, we have answers for everything. Here is a quote from a woman that I worked with several years ago who never thought she’d be able to break her sex and porn addiction as she was struggling with both. "David shared with me information that was so deep, I had no idea the difference between the porn addiction I had or the addiction I had with phone sex, or with men in general. It was a way for me to escape reality, my work demands a lot of hours, and I was using my sex and porn addiction as a way to give myself a break, sort of like a reward for all the hours I worked. However, it almost cost me my job as I started showing up late on a regular basis because I wanted to get one more orgasm at home before I left for work .” She is now free of both addictions and has been for over 15 years after going through our program. I know you’ll find the same success regardless of what type of sex or porn addiction you’re struggling with right now. Never give up! I will be by your side showing you the way, to complete freedom.
