Michael released a personal documentary on May 12, 2023 called Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. It covers how the actor deals with his diagnosis, specifically how it has affected his mental health.
In an interview, he said that, "I have aides around me quite a bit of the time in case I fall, and that lack of privacy is hard to deal with. I lost family members, I lost my dog, I lost freedom, I lost health. I hesitate to use the term ‘depression,’ because I’m not qualified to diagnose myself, but all the signs were there.”
But, the actor has always found a way to look at his life as a glass half full. “I just enjoy the little math problems of existence. I love waking up and figuring that stuff out and at the same time being with my family. My problem is I fall down. I trip over things and fall down and break things. And that’s part of having this. But I hope that, and I feel that, I won’t break as many bones tomorrow. So that’s being optimistic.”
