(March 25) - Jack Osbourne battled severe depression after his mom's 2002 cancer diagnosis, he shares in a recent interview with In Touch Weekly, saying, "I started getting suicidal. I was just doing loads of drugs and drinking. I was miserable."
Shortly after TV personality Sharon Osbourne was diagnosed with colon cancer, Jack tried to kill himself with an overdose of prescription pills, including OxyContin and Valium, he now admits. His depression hit rock bottom in the spring of 2003. "I disappeared for the long weekend," Jack explains. "When I came back, I knew I needed help. I was like, 'Okay, I will do this.'"
