Scrubs star Zach Braff has opened up about his battle with depression in a US magazine interview.

The funnyman, who recently split from pop star Mandy Moore, told Sunday supplement Parade he thinks he suffers from “mild depression.”

The Garden State star admits his fans have helped him come to terms with his mood swings.

“To to have millions of people go, ‘I watched your movie and related’ was the ultimate affirmation that I’m not a freak,” he says.

The Golden Globe Award nominee, 31, insists his moody nature and his lack of image make him the most unlikely Hollywood star: “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.”
