We must learn to talk with one another about mental illness.

That is why I wanted my conversation with Archie Messersmith-Bunting to revolve around depression, suicide, alcohol, and drug addiction as it relates to this past year during Covid-19. He kindly obliged because he knows of what he speaks. His perspective is from his struggles with depression, addiction, and suicide attempts.

Today he is known as The Feelings Guy™. Archie champions mental health awareness worldwide at corporations and universities challenging people to rethink these complicated and emotional topics.
