Nick and Todd discuss the importance of mental health support for reality TV cast members and why the industry must do better.  Todd presents an article about society being more open about mental health issues but with that comes the phenomena of ‘hyperawareness’, self diagnosis and misinformation caused by social media. Nick and Todd discuss the pros and cons of having more open conversations about mental health. Prepare for passionate arguments, diverse perspectives, and a deeper understanding of the complex world of mental health. Join Nick and Todd for Mental Health Headlines Hot Takes to engage your mind and challenge your assumptions.
