WASHINGTON (AP) — As more Americans struggle with depression and anxiety, the cast of “The West Wing” teamed up with the Biden administration on Thursday to share a simple message: you are not alone.
The star-studded cast of the drama series that, even years after being off air maintains a strong fan base, participated in a roundtable discussion with the White House to share their own stories of childhood abuse, isolation during the COVID-19 and struggles to help their children navigate the anxiety-inducing world of social media.
Through it all, five members of “The West Wing" cast said that talking with friends, family and even each other got them through darkest moments.
“Community is the key to all of this,” said actor Martin Sheen, who served as the U.S. president on the drama series.
