In this weeks episode, Han is joined Tom Davies. Tom is the host of the Proper Mental Podcast, which aims (and achieves) to normalise conversations around mental health.

Han and Tom begin the episode by discussing the importance of talking about mental health illness, and the reasons why Tom started Proper Mental. We then discuss Tom's mental health journey, and how things hit a low point, leading to him having thoughts around ending his life.

We discuss the idea of masculinity, relationships, medication, fatherhood, and communication and how they fed into Tom's mental health journey.

Finally, we discuss what is needed next for mental health illness, and how awareness is only one part of the puzzle.
