Steven: Hi there. This is Steven from the podcast "Who am I?" Just a sensitivity warning: Today's subject is very complex and can be very difficult at times to talk about and hear about.

And today's episode is gonna be discussing mental health and how it affects us personally and just in day-to-day life. I guess we will start the discussion off just by really talking about our own experiences.
