Mental health is probably less than 10% of what he discusses on his podcasts anyway so people need to stop putting him in this pigeon hole and judging his wholeness on his thoughts on one issue. He covers a diverse range of topics and music would probably be the most prevalent.

That is the post I was talking about, and is the post where the guy talks about "shyte days" which is what I quoted and said I was quoting "Days being shyte does not equal depressed.". "Your podcast helped keep me going when my days were very shyte"

weldoninhio wrote: » He never mentioned feeling down at all in his tweet. Jesus, the Dave Chambers Fan Club really do only see what they want. I notice no one has ever replied to my post questioning how he went from talking about his "anxiety and agoraphobia" in his early days talking about mental health, but now talks about his "deep dark depression". Much like Bressie, his former mental health issues seem to be getting worse and worse the further into the past they get. :rolleyes:

See there's a lot of different ways to look at it. I suffer anxiety (medically treated) and as a result of my anxiety suffered from agoraphobia, which is not a nice thing at all and as a result of agoraphobia suffered from depression. It's a bit of a vicious circle. I'm not male so the part of the discussion about how men could better help themselves isn't particularly relevant to me but yet I can understand it and relate to it despite that. It just boggles my mind the level of denial that goes on when it comes to mental health and wellbeing. If I were to believe everything I read here, it only affects men and how mostly, it's probably because women are the cause of it and that seems to suit a certain sector of society and by all means if that's what makes you feel better go with it. It certainly shouldn't invalidate other peoples experiences at the same time.

I take him seriously because he has been through CBT, studied paychology and talks about theories on mental health openly and regularly. I can get over that he is paid to share his opinions or paid once he shares his opinions, because they seem to be affecting change and getting people who felt alone a feeling that they aren't. If you can't get over him being paid, that's fine, but I don't believe it's a reason not to take him seriously. Anyway I'll pop out of this now as I'm sure I'm just clogging up the thread with the same stuff over and over.

Will I Am Not wrote: » Not a fan of everything he says but I was enjoying his podcast up until the latest one. Such a load of self indulgent **** over him getting a DM off Conor McGregor. Talked about how some journalists might write a click bait article on the back of that podcast, saying he doesn’t do click bait himself because he has integrity. If he had integrity he wouldn’t be reading out private messages sent to him by McGregor on his own podcast. Came across a complete bellend in that episode with his big “come down and meet me for a chat” spiel towards Mcgregor.
