Exclusive | 'Sopranos' star Joe Pantoliano swears by 'the three Ms' to improve his mental health: Masturbation, medication and meditation

Summary: "Sopranos" actor Joe Pantoliano, 74, is sharing his funny but real advice for mental health. He jokes that you need "the three Ms": masturbation, medication, and meditation. But in real life, he does things a bit differently! Instead of taking medicine, he takes a fast 15-minute walk every day. Doctors at a brain hospital told him this quick walk can help the brain just as much as 90 milligrams of Prozac. Joe has been very open about his past struggles with depression and addiction. Now, he even has a group called "No Kidding, Me Too!" to help others feel less alone and remove the stigma around mental illness.
