Living with Chronic Depression, Anxiety and a Panic Disorder. Lucas Paletta joins us on The Honest Hour this week to share his experience living with mental illness. It takes incredible amounts of courage and strength to be open about your struggles, and on this episode Lucas shows us exactly what that looks like. Not only does this episode allow you to hear Lucas's impactful story, but it also allows you to see mental health from the perspective of a male. Men's mental health is a topic that is not nearly touched on enough and continues to experience a strong stigma surrounding it. Lucas allows us to expand our knowledge and awareness on men's mental health and work towards further opening the conversation.
