When asked by DJ fresh why he had become depressed, Trevor said he didn’t know where it had come from.
“It’s just how you see the world,” he said. According to the much-loved Daily Show host, he had to redefine what his purpose was.
For Trevor, this meant seeing that his purpose was to give and to see beyond the fame and money.
He also discussed common misconceptions about the disease, and how people think it just means you feel sad.
“…It’s a chemical thing in your brain where you perceive what is happening to you now to be what will be happening to you forever,” he explained.
Trevor is in South Africa to entertain fans with 3 shows in Joburg and one in Durban.
He also surprised lucky patrons at the Goliath Comedy Club in Melrose Arch on Saturday with a visit and impromptu performance.
