Some stuff from Buenos Aires episode of Parts Unknown where he visited a therapist:

Quote:
“I need somebody to talk to,” he confessed.

He went on to visit a therapist and talk about his relationship with food and how it sometimes sends him into a depression. “I will find myself in an airport, for instance, and I'll order an airport hamburger. It's an insignificant thing, it's a small thing, it's a hamburger, but it's not a good one,” he explained to the therapist. “Suddenly I look at the hamburger and I find myself in a spiral of depression that can last for days."
Quote:
he felt like “a freak,” further explaining that he felt isolated. "I communicate for a living, but I'm terrible with communicating with people I care about,” he said. “I'm good with my daughter. An eight-year-old is about my level of communication skills, so that works out. But beyond, that I'm really terrible."
Just maybe having it all and access to any help doesn't mean much when in the end you still have a huge amount people that simply boil things down to "suck it up and be a man". In fact, often the same person who says and believes that is the one we end up suddenly mourning.
