Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson opened up about a battle with depression on an upcoming show on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
"The Great One" recalled on "Oprah's Master Class" that it was during a major low period in his life that led him to a life-changing decision.
Depression led The Rock to a career in professional wrestling.

"One of the most important things you could realize is that you're not alone," Johnson said. "You're not the first to go through it. You're not going to be the last to go through it."
