This week Bobby and Annie talk growing up as a factor in mental health and share stories of how these formative years shaped their worlds today. Touching on puberty, family and education we work to unpick how these can lead to initial turbulence and discuss just how early mental illness can start.

Here we go! Mental is the brain-child of Bobby Temps, who lives and thrives while managing his own mental health. Every Thursday we delve into a factor or condition that influences the mind and how to better manage it.
